Flovent (Fluticasone) is a prescription medication used to manage and treat asthma, allergic rhinitis, emphysema, and atopic dermatitis. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Flovent is used to prevent asthma attacks. Fluticasone is a steroid medication that works by reducing swelling (inflammation) of the airways in the lungs to make breathing easier. When used regularly every day, inhaled fluticasone decreases the number and severity of asthma attacks. It will not treat an asthma attack that has already begun. In a study (Efficacy and Safety of Salmeterol/Fluticasone Propionate Combination Delivered by the Diskus or Pressurised Metered-Dose Inhaler in Children with Asthma, 2005), T Bracamonte, U Schauer, A Emeryk…found that “SFC delivered via Diskus or pMDI was shown to be highly effective in asthmatic children aged 4–11 years. Children as young as 4 years were able to use the Diskus and pMDI effectively. The combination is clinically equivalent when administered via either device in this patient population.”
Other alternative medications for asthma and COPD management include: Alvesco, Ventolin diskus

Stop using fluticasone and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
• Blurred vision or pain in the eye;
• Signs of infection such as fever, chills, sore throat, ear pain, flu symptoms;
• Skin rash, bruising, severe tingling, numbness, pain, muscle weakness;
• Weakness, tired feeling, nausea, vomiting, and feeling like you might pass out;

Less serious side effects of fluticasone may include:
• Dryness in your mouth, nose or throat;

The most important factor in utilizing flovent to improve your asthma symptoms is taking it correctly. Using flovent only when you are experiencing asthma symptoms is not a good way to control your asthma. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience episodes of asthma that are not responsive to bronchodilators (such as salbutamol or terbutaline) while using this medication. Do not stop this medication abruptly, as this may result in withdrawal symptoms such as stomach discomfort, pain or worsening of asthma.
