Default Fluticasone 500mcg 3 puffs BD 6OP (accuhaler)
Did a locum today and had to check off a prescription for a 77 year old man with COPD,the bloke was also on ipratropium , a xanthine and montelukast.......
It had been dispensed at least 6 times at the pharmacy but I felt that Fluticasone dose was way too high at 3000mcg daily....way above the BTS guidelines and equivalent to approximately 6000mcg of beclomethasone..GP surgery closed so I couldn't query it with GP

Any thoughts on this?
