The orange one is likely called Flixotide(Fluticasone) an inhaled steroid used for prophylaxis of asthma symptoms, the brown ones are generally Budesonide or Beclomethasone also an inhaled steriod. ~BOth work int he same way but Flixotide is a bit newer and generally effective at lower doses. Hope this helps
