Fluticasone propionate hydrofluoroalkane inhalation aerosol in patients receiving inhaled corticosteroids

Fluticasone propionate hydrofluoroalkane, previously shown to be a clinically suitable alternative to fluticasone propionate chlorofluorocarbon, was effective and well tolerated. The ability to switch from fluticasone propionate chlorofluorocarbon and other chlorofluorocarbon-containing ICSs to fluticasone propionate hydrofluoroalkane without sacrificing asthma control or tolerability will facilitate a smooth transition to this nonchlorofluorocarbon-containing medicinal.
