Flovent Inhaler (fluticasone) contains a corticosteroid, useful for minimizing or preventing inflammation and irritation in the lungs. The medication can be used in patients age 4 and up.

It's possible to buy Flovent Inhaler under other names, such as Flixotide Accuhaler, as well as in combination with other medications, such as Breo or Advair. Note that dosage recommendations will vary between these products. In other versions of Flovent Inhaler, inactive ingredients may also vary.

Fluticasone, the active ingredient in Flovent Inhaler, is a corticosteroid, or inhaled steroid. Inhaled steroids deliver the medication directly to the lungs, where it inhibits inflammation. As inflammation is a big factor in an asthma attack, this inhibition reduces the odds of experiencing an asthma attack and, if one does happen, it will often be less severe.

Patients planning to buy Flovent Inhaler should be aware that this medication does not replace a rescue inhaler, such as albuterol. A rescue inhaler should always be kept on-hand for use if needed.

What to Expect from Flovent Inhaler

Flovent is available in two forms; an HFA inhaler and a diskus. Both of these administer fluticasone powder to the lungs. Inhalers contain the propellant HFA, in use since CFC propellants were banned; some individuals react poorly to HFA propellants. The diskus does not contain HFA but it does contain milk proteins, which can trigger reactions in those who are allergic to milk proteins. Again these two ingredients may vary if using Flovent Inhaler equivalents.

If neither HFA nor milk proteins are a concern, the two products are essentially the same. Some patients find the familiarity of the inhaler a bit easier to use.

Dosage will depend on a number of factors, including age and severity of asthma. Treatment typically looks like:

• Some patients may be started on a relatively high dose, to be lowered after asthma is under control.
• Other patients may be started on a lower dose, increased only if needed.
• The medication is usually taken twice per day, morning and evening.
• Inhalers should be shaken before use. The diskus does not need to be shaken.
• If taking multiple doses at the same time, wait at least 30 seconds between them.
• Rinse the mouth with water after each dose to prevent infection.

Many patients notice a difference about 24 hours after starting treatment, but it will take about two weeks to see full benefit. If there is no significant improvement after two weeks, dosage may be increased.

Duration of treatment is usually indefinite, as long as the medication provides benefit. Patients may need to periodically stop using Flovent Inhaler due to other medications, medical procedures, or infections. Use can generally be resumed after these events are over.

Those who buy Flovent Inhaler should keep in mind that the medication should not be stopped abruptly; doing so can cause worsening of asthma as well as other symptoms of withdrawal. Dosage will ideally be gradually lowered over several weeks. A doctor can help determine a discontinuation plan.
