Flovent Inhaler (Fluticasone)

Chemical Name: FLUTICASONE (floo-TIK-a-zone)

Flovent is a corticosteroid used to prevent asthma attacks and other respiratory conditions by reducing inflammation in the lungs and opening airways. With regular use, Flovent can help reduce the number and severity of asthma attacks as well as treat symptoms such as wheezing, and shortness of breath caused by bronchitis or emphysema. Breathing improvements can occur within 24 hours of treatment. If the patient does not respond to treatment after a few weeks, a higher dosage may be prescribed for additional asthma control. The Flovent inhaler price in Pennsylvania will vary depending on the dosage size. You should talk to your doctor before starting any inhaler regiment.

Directions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are having trouble administering the drug. The number of inhalations required, and dosage will depend on your medical condition. For best results, use Flovent inhaler on a regular basis. Please refer to the following guidelines and those indicated on the prescription label:

• Shake inhaler before every use
• Your doctor may recommend using inhaler twice a day (morning/evening)
• If you are prescribed two inhalations per use, wait 30 seconds between each dose
• Rinse mouth after each use to prevent irritation
• Use medication at the same time each day

If you forget to take your daily dose, do not double the amount for your next dose which can cause complications. Once your asthma is well controlled, consult your doctor about decreasing the strength of your dosage.

Disclaimer: Flovent does not provide immediate relief from an asthma attack. It will not stop an asthma attack once one has started and should not be used for treatment during an asthma attack.
