Flovent HFA
Product Description
Flovent HFA is a medication used to treat asthma in people aged 4 and above. It also aids in the prevention of asthma symptoms when used on a regular basis.
Fluticasone propionate, a synthetic corticosteroid, is the active ingredient in Flovent HFA.
Corticosteroids are naturally occurring chemicals in the body that aid in the battle against inflammation. Asthma is treated with corticosteroids, which decrease inflammation in the airways.
Flovent HFA does not help with asthmatic breathing difficulties that occur suddenly. Always keep a backup rescue inhaler on hand to address unexpected symptoms. If you don’t have a rescue inhaler, make an appointment with your doctor to get one.
Dosage Forms
Aerosol for inhalation. A pressurized metered dosage aerosol canister holding 120 metered inhalations and equipped with a counter is fitted in a dark orange plastic inhaler with a peach strap cap.
Each actuation releases fluticasone propionate from the mouthpiece at the following strengths:
- Flovent HFA 44 mcg inhaler
- Flovent HFA 110 mcg inhaler
- Flovent HFA 220 mcg inhaler
Usage
Flovent HFA is a fluticasone inhaler that comes in an aerosol form. This gadget produces a spray that you inhale into your lungs through your mouth. How to use an inhaler can be shown to you by your doctor or pharmacist.
Read any drug guides or instruction sheets and follow all recommendations on your prescription label. Follow the medication’s instructions to the letter. Do not take the medication more than you are prescribed.
After using this drug, rinse your mouth with water (do not swallow) to avoid a yeast infection. Keep a watchful eye on your dental hygiene. Fluticasone can cause tooth decay and discoloration.
