Flovent Diskus (Fluticasone Propionate) and/or alternatives

General Information On Flovent Diskus

Flovent Diskus belongs to the group of steroid medications and is used for preventing bronchial asthma attacks. However, it cannot be used to cure an asthma attack that has already started. Flovent Diskus prevents asthma attacks by reducing the inflammatory reactions that take place in the body’s airways. These reactions are caused by the presence of irritants or allergens in the air.

The minor side effects of Flovent Diskus include headache and white patches or sores inside the mouth or lips. Other common side effects include a stuffy nose, sinus pain, cough, or a deep or hoarse voice. Consult your doctor if these mild side effects are persistent or get worse.

Flovent Diskus can also cause allergic reactions in rare scenarios. The symptoms include hives, swollen tongue, lips, throat, or face, and labored breathing. Immediately stop taking the medication and seek emergency medical help when these symptoms occur. Other severe side effects that may occur include fatigue, skin rashes, numbness, and blurred vision.
