Flovent Toxicity & Overdose RiskThere is limited research on the use of fluticasone propionate among specific populations. Animal studies have not shown any signs of cancer, mutation, or chromosome damage, but subcutaneous administration of the drug has been linked to birth defects in rats. Reports of side effects in pregnant women are rare. Breastfeeding mothers may experience growth suppression, changes to their body’s natural hormones, or other effects in their baby. Young patients using ointment may experience decreased adrenal function. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to side effects. Fluticasone propionate is removed from the body equally among men and women

Flovent Reviews: What are patients saying about Flovent?
5Patient Review
9/7/2017 I've been using this inhaler for two decades with great results. It's important to keep the unit clean and rinse your mouth after use. Unfortunately, my new insurance doesn't cover it, so I have to switch.
5Patient Review
10/27/2013 This treatment successfully stopped my chronic bronchitis by halting inflammation and, as a result, the overproduction of mucus in the bronchial tubes. The only side effect I experienced was hoarseness, but that went away after a few days.
4.3Patient Review
3/16/2013 I took this medicine for six months, my allergies were somewhat controlled but the side effects were just too much. My face was getting puffy, I had joint pains, gained about 14 pounds and my sex drive diminished. When I stopped taking the medicine, I went back to normal. I went for three months without taking anything, my allergies come back and now I am using albuterol. It seems to help--I will never take flovent again.
4.3Patient Review
6/2/2013 I was put on this medication because my emphysema was progressing. It has helped with my breathing, but I have also noticed increased swelling in my extremities and face, as well as weight gain. The hunger has been constant, which likely contributes to the added pounds.
4Patient Review
7/19/2012 I began to experience constant hunger about two weeks after starting this medication. I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling famished, and had to start eating every few hours to stave off the hunger. I eventually had to stop taking the medication because of this side effect.
4Patient Review
6/27/2022 My dad was neglectfully not given his Flovent for 10 days, which caused him a lot of trouble. Once we figured out the problem and he started taking it again, he's been doing much better.
3Patient Review
9/23/2014 I'm not a fan of this medication because it changed my daughter's demeanor for the worse. I'm glad we're off it now and seeing improvements.
3Patient Review
8/17/2013 My son's breathing has improved since we started this treatment on 5/25. However, he now has rashes all over his body which look swollen. Has anyone else had this reaction to the medication?
3Patient Review
2/21/2014 Unfortunately, my three year old child experiences severe anger when using this medication.

2/8/2013 This medication alleviated my son's asthma symptoms; however, he became much more aggressive. I'm not sure if the benefits outweigh the risks.
2.7Patient Review
5/20/2022 I had originally thought this was working well for my 3 year old's cough. However, after reading other reviews and taking note of my child's behavior, I noticed that she became much more aggressive after using the inhaler.
2Patient Review
3/31/2022 My son has asthma and he is 8 years old. Took him to see his dr for flu like symptoms... His breathing was fine except a bad cough. Used this inhaler for 1 day 2 puffs 2 times daily. His cough got so much deeper. Used again the next morning then before bed the second day then he vomits and coughed so much he couldnt breath.
2Patient Review
10/8/2014 I took Flovent as a preventative measure, but it only gave me a severe dry throat. If anything, my asthma seemed to worsen while I was on it. I ended up taking my rescue inhaler more often than before. Qvar helped after just one dose, so I would recommend that instead.
1.7Patient Review
5/2/2014 I'm discontinuing this medication after only five doses. Not only has it failed to improve my breathing, but it's also made my cough worse and given me a burning sensation in my throat. I don't understand why my doctor would prescribe something that does nothing to help.
1Patient Review
11/23/2015 I had a lot of negative side effects while taking Flovent, so I changed to QVAR-40 MCG TWICE A DAY. This has been working much better for me by calming down the inflammation.
1Patient Review
12/7/2013 I was prescribed this medication for a cold, which I never had asthma. Within five days of taking the drug as directed, my feet started to swell and I began having breathing difficulties and anxiety attacks. As a result, I had to visit the emergency room. Thankfully, I changed doctors and am now waiting for all of these symptoms to subside.
Patient Q&A Section about flovent
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.Does Flovent have a steroid in it?
"Flovent HFA is a steroid medication used to prevent asthma attacks. It cannot be used to treat an asthma attack that has already begun."
Answered by AI
Is Albuterol and Flovent the same?
"Flovent (fluticasone) is an inhaled corticosteroid that is not a rescue inhaler like albuterol. Inhaled corticosteroids work by lessening the inflammation and swelling of the airways in the lungs over time."
Answered by AI
What does Flovent do to lungs?
"The medication works by reducing the inflammation of the airways in the lungs which makes it easier to breathe. Controlling the symptoms of asthma helps you to maintain your normal activities and decreases the amount of time you would miss from work or school."
Answered by AI
What is Flovent prescribed for?
"FLOVENT is a prescription inhaled corticosteroid medicine that is used for the long-term treatment of asthma in people aged 4 years and older. FLOVENT is not used to relieve sudden breathing problems and won't replace a rescue inhaler."
