Wixela Inhub Toxicity & Overdose Risk
Not much is known about the effects of fluticasone propionate in certain populations. Animal studies have shown that subcutaneous administration can cause birth defects in rats but oral administration does not have this effect. There are no known side effects when taken during pregnancy, although fluticasone propionate in human milk may affect growth and natural hormone production. Children and the elderly may be more sensitive to adverse effects. Fluticasone propionate is cleared from the body in the same way regardless of gender or race. Patients with liver problems should be monitored closely.
