Arnuity is indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma in patients 5 years of age and older. It is used as prophylactic therapy to control symptoms and reduce the frequency of asthma attacks, but it is not intended for the relief of acute bronchospasm or sudden breathing difficulties.
Arnuity contains fluticasone propionate, a synthetic corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the bronchial tubes. By decreasing airway inflammation, it helps the airways become less sensitive to asthma triggers and reduces the occurrence of symptoms over time with regular use.
Arnuity is a maintenance medication and should be used regularly as prescribed, even when symptoms are absent. It is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks. Patients should rinse their mouth with water after each use to reduce the risk of oral thrush (fungal infection) and hoarseness. Dosage is individualized based on disease severity and should not be increased without medical consultation.
