For the prophylactic treatment of asthma, FP inhaled aerosol (Flixotide ®) administered via a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) was approved in China in adults, adolescents older than 16 years of age and children aged 4 to 16 years. This post-marketing safety monitoring program will evaluate the safety profile of FP 50 micrograms (µg) inhaled via a pediatric spacer device with a face mask in Chinese subjects aged 1 to \<4 years. The adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and predictors of these adverse reactions among subjects will be reported. This single arm observational study will include subjects prescribed with FP 50 µg inhaled via a pediatric spacer device with a face mask. The maximum duration of the study will be 12 weeks with 3 visits. Visit 1 (Day 1) will be on-site visit and will also mark the start of the observational program. The follow-up visits will be scheduled at Visit 2 (Week 4), and Visit 3 (Week 12) conducted on site or by telephone. A total of 150 asthmatic subjects who have been prescribed FP 50 µg treatment for appropriate medical use for the first time in China will be enrolled in the study. Flixotide is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.

Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) or Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR)
An AE is defined as any untoward medical event which occurred in a participant or clinical study participant, which is temporally associated with the use of the medical product, whether or not considered related to the product. An ADR is defined as AE related to study drug and listed in the package insert. Number of participants who had at least one AE or ADR are presented.
Time frame: Up to Week 12
Number of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) or Non-SAE
Any untoward medical occurrence resulting in death, life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, possible drug-induced liver injury or any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent serious outcomes were categorized as SAE. Number of participants who had at least one SAE or non-SAE are presented.
Time frame: Up to Week 12
Number of Participants With Any New, Unexpected AE or Safety Signal
An unexpected AE is defined as any adverse reaction whose nature and intensity have not been previously observed and documented for the study product (e.g. in the investigator brochure, product information). A safety signal is information on a new or known AE that may be caused by a medicine and requires further investigation. Number of participants with any new unexpected AE or safety signal are presented.
Time frame: Up to Week 12
