What is Stalpex?
Stalpex contains 50/500 mcg salmeterol xinafoate/
fluticasone propionate dose inhalation powder
Indications 2
Asthma
-
Stalpex is indicated for use in patients with severe asthma 12 years of age and older only
-
Regular treatment of patients with severe asthma, where use of a combination product (long-acting ß2 agonist and inhaled corticosteroid) is appropriate:
- - patients not adequately controlled on a lower strength corticosteroid combination product, or
- - patients already adequately controlled on an inhaled corticosteroid in a high strength and a long-acting ß2 agonist
COPD
-
Symptomatic treatment of patients with a FEV1 <60% predicted normal (pre-bronchodilator) and a history of repeated exacerbations, with significant symptoms despite regular bronchodilator therapy
Dosing 2
Asthma
-
One inhalation twice daily. Once control of asthma is attained, treatment should be reviewed and consideration given to whether patients should be stepped down to a lower dose ICS/LABA combination or ICS alone
COPD
-
One inhalation twice daily
The Stalpex inhaler design
was recently updated, and both
shapes are available in the UK market.
The two designs are bioequivalent
and there is no difference in how
they are used by patients.3
