FLIXOTIDE/FLOVENT (Fluticasone Proprionate)

Inhalers with 120 doses of 250 mcg strength.
Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline


What is it?
This product is used as a preventative measure against asthma symptoms. The active ingredient in Flixotide/Flovent is a synthetic glucocorticoid. Glucocorticoids are natural substances found in the body that help fight inflammation. They are used to treat asthma because they reduce the swelling and irritation in the walls of the small air passages in the lungs and ease breathing problems. When inhaled regularly, glucocorticoids can help to prevent attacks of asthma. It is not designed or intended to replace a patients fast-acting inhaler for sudden asthma attacks. Flixotide/Flovent is an inhaled steroid.

How do you take it?
Shake the inhaler well for 15 seconds immediately before each use. Breathe out through the mouth. Place the mouthpiece in the mouth, closing the lips around it. Alternatively, the inhaler may be positioned 1 to 2 inches away from the open mouth. While breathing in deeply and slowly through the mouth, plress down firmly and fully on the top of the metail canister with your index finger. Continue to inhale and try to hold your breath for 10 seconds. Before breathing out, remove the inhaler from your mouth and release your finger from the canister. Wait about 30 seconds and shake the inhaler again. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each inhalation prescribed by your doctor. Replace the mouthpiece cap after each use. Rinsing your mouth after inhalation is advised.

What are the side effects?
Side effects may include agitation, aggression, back problems, bad taste in mouth, brittle bones, bronchitis, bruising, cataracts, congestion, cough, depression, diarrhoea, dizziness, dry mouth, dry nose, eye problems, facial changes, fever, flu, headache, hives, hoarseness, indigestion, itching, loss of speech, mouth infection or swelling, nasal congestion, nasal irritation or burning, nasal sores, nausea, nosebleeds, respiratory tract infection, runny nose, sinus problems, sneezing, sore throat, stunted growth, vomiting, weight gain, wheezing, or worsening of asthma.

What precautions should be taken?
If you are being switched from an oral steroid tablet to fluticasone, you may experience joint pain, muscle pain, weakness, depression, or fatigue while your body adjusts to the absence of steroid tablets and increases its own production of steroids. You may also experience eye inflammation, eczema, arthritis, and nasal inflammation. People taking steroid medications run an increased risk of infections such as chickenpox and measles. High doses of steroid medications such as fluticasone can cause a condition known as Cushing's syndrome. The risk of developing Cushing's syndrome and other side effects increases when you take other steroid medications while using fluticasone. Prednisone and dexamethasone are examples of oral steroid medications. Also be sure to check with your doctor before combining fluticasone with ketoconazole (Nizoral) or HIV drugs known as protease inhibitors.
