Flovent, also known as fluticasone,is a medicine used to treat people with asthma. It's in a group of medicines called corticosteroids, which help in healing the swelling in your airways. It's been around for a long time and is often used to help people with asthma, COPD, and other breathing problems.

The composition of Flovent includes Fluticasone propionate as the active ingredient, and it also contains propellant HFA-134a as an inactive component.

Flovent is useful for individuals aged 4 years and older who have asthma and need long-term asthma control when their symptoms are not effectively managed by a rescue inhaler. Consult with your doctor to determine if Flovent is a suitable option for your asthma.

Flovent may not be suitable for everyone. Avoid using it if you have experienced an allergic response to fluticasone or during an asthma attack. Refrain from using Flovent if you have allergies to milk proteins.

Flovent is a type of medicine called a corticosteroid. It works in a way similar to a natural hormone called cortisol that your body produces on its own. When you inhale Flovent, it goes straight into your lungs and reduces inflammation there. This also helps to widen your airways, making it easier to breathe. This medicine helps in controlling asthma and stopping asthma attacks.

Flovent cannot provide immediate relief for sudden breathing problems. It's essential to carry a rescue inhaler with you at all times to promptly address any sudden symptoms. Flovent starts to have an effect within 24 hours and reaches its maximum effect in 1-2 weeks.

In such a case, simply skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Avoid taking two doses at once.
