Question: 1 / 400

What class of drug is Fluticasone?

Corticosteroids

Fluticasone is classified as a corticosteroid. This classification means that the drug is used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. When treating a condition such as asthma, a corticosteroid is used to treat the underlying inflammation that causes symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. The other options listed (B Anticoagulants, C: Monoclonal Antibody Antiasthmatics, D: Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitors) are not correct because they do not match the classification of Fluticasone. Anticoagulants are used to prevent blood clots, Monoclonal Antibody Antiasthmatics are a type of biologic therapy, and Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitors are a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
