Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

Aerivio Spiromax (and other fluticasone containing ICS/LABAs) is NOT a locally preferred device although there is no expectation for existing stable patients to change drug or device unless agreed as a clinically appropriate course of action.

The locally preferred ICS/LABA devices are as follows:

Low carbon:

  • Fostair Nexthaler (beclometasone / formoterol DPI)
  • Fobumix Easyhaler (budesonide / formoterol DPI)
  • Relvar Ellipta (Fluticasone / vilanterol DPI)
  • Symbicort Turbohaler (budesonide / formoterol DPI)

Alternative devices:

  • Fostair (beclometasone / formoterol pMDI)
  • Symbicort (budesonide / formoterol pMDI)

Devices should be prescribed by BRAND

A spacer device should be used with MDI devices.
