What brand name is flunisolide for inhalers?

Flunisolide is a corticosteroid medicine used as an inhaled therapy for asthma (often described in labeling as “flunisolide inhalation aerosol”).

Common brand names can vary by country and time, so the exact brand depends on where you are and the specific product formulation (aerosol vs. other delivery forms). The most widely recognized U.S. brand associated with flunisolide inhalation is Aerobid. [1]

How to confirm you have the right flunisolide inhaler

If you’re trying to identify the flunisolide inhaler you have, check the label for:
- Active ingredient: flunisolide
- Route/form: inhalation aerosol (or an equivalent inhaled formulation)
- Strength (listed on the canister/box)

Is flunisolide the same as other inhaled steroids brands?

Yes—brand names differ, but many inhaled steroid inhalers share similar roles (reducing airway inflammation). If you’re comparing products, the key is the active ingredient:
- Flunisolide (your question) is different from drugs like fluticasone or budesonide, even though they are used in similar ways.

If Aerobid isn’t available where you live

In some markets, flunisolide may be sold under different brand names or may be harder to find due to availability. Checking the active ingredient on the package is the most reliable way to confirm you have the correct medication. [1]
