This page shows dosing level of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). This table does not imply potency equivalence but only suggested total daily dosing level for low, medium, and high ICS. It's important to note that fluticasone furoate 100 inhalers can count as both low or medium ICS dose and appear in the table twice.
This is the most complete table of steroid dosing that I know. The GINA website linked below has a page that shows levels by generic name, DPI, and total daily ICS dose. I made this table by looking up all of the brand inhalers, their ingredients, multiplied their frequency to get the total daily ICS dose, and then fitted them back to the table.
