Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Sep-2009
Beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) and budesonide (BUD) are commonly prescribed inhaled corticosteroids for the treatment of asthma. Fluticasone propionate (FP) is newer agent with greater potency in in-vitro assays.
- Fluticasone versus 'extrafine' HFA-beclomethasone dipropionate for chronic asthma in adults and children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jan-2010
The relative efficacy of fluticasone (FP) and beclomethasone (BDP) propelled with CFCs has been well established. The potency of HFA-BDP is thought to have been improved with new propellant and some studies suggest that extra-fine HFA-BDP may be equipoten
- Fluticasone versus placebo for chronic asthma in adults and children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-May-2009

Fluvoxamine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that has been approved for the treatment of depression, obsessive–compulsive disorder, and a variety of anxiety disorders; it is available as an oral preparation. Fluvoxamine has not been appr
- Fluvoxamine versus other anti-depressive agents for depression
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Sep-2013
Fluvoxamine, one of the oldest selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), is prescribed to patients with major depression in many countries. Several studies have previously reviewed the efficacy and tolerability of fluvoxamine for the treatment of m
- Foam dressings for healing diabetic foot ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-May-2013
Foot ulcers in people with diabetes are a prevalent and serious global health issue. Dressings form a key part of ulcer treatment, with clinicians and patients having many different types to choose from. A clear and current overview of current evidence is
- Foam dressings for venous leg ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jun-2013
Venous leg ulcers are a common and recurring type of chronic or complex wound that are associated with considerable cost to patients and to healthcare providers. Primary wound contact dressings are usually applied beneath compression devices with the aim
- Foam surfaces for preventing pressure ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-May-2021
Pressure ulcers (also known as pressure injuries) are localised injuries to the skin or underlying soft tissue, or both, caused by unrelieved pressure, shear or friction. Foam surfaces (beds, mattresses or overlays) are widely used with the aim of prevent
- Folate for depressive disorders
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Oct-2008
There are a number of effective interventions for the treatment of depression. It is possible that the efficacy of these treatments will be improved further by the use of adjunctive therapies such as folate.
- Folate supplementation in people with sickle cell disease

Folate depletion may result in anaemia during pregnancy.
- Folic acid and folinic acid for reducing side effects in patients receiving methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jul-2014
Methotrexate (MTX) is a disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) used as a first line agent for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Pharmacologically, it is classified as an antimetabolite due to its antagonistic effect on folic acid metabolism. Many
- Folic acid for fragile X syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Apr-2011
It has been argued that individuals with fragile X syndrome could have low folate levels in their bodies and that supplementing their dietary intake might remediate the adverse developmental and behavioural effects of the condition.
- Folic acid supplementation during pregnancy for maternal health and pregnancy outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Feb-2013
During pregnancy, fetal growth causes an increase in the total number of rapidly dividing cells, which leads to increased requirements for folate. Inadequate folate intake leads to a decrease in serum folate concentration, resulting in a decrease in eryth
- Folic acid with or without vitamin B12 for the prevention and treatment of healthy elderly and demented people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Nov-2008
Folate deficiency can result in congenital neural tube defects and megaloblastic anaemia. Low folate levels may be due to insufficient dietary intake or inefficient absorption, but impaired metabolic utilization also occurs.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2011
Both human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) and human follicle stimulating hormone (hFSH) have been used successfully for ovarian stimulation, but the relative importance of FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) in follicular growth and maturation has been the su
