Flovent Diskus Is Used For
Flovent Diskus belongs to the family of medicines known as corticosteroids. Flovent Diskus is used to help prevent the symptoms of asthma. When used regularly every day, inhaled Flovent Diskus decreases the number and severity of asthma attacks. However, it will not relieve an asthma attack that has already started. Flovent works by preventing certain cells in the lungs and breathing passages from releasing substances that cause asthma symptoms.

Precautions when Taking Flovent Diskus
Flovent Diskus not designed or intended to replace a patients fast-acting inhaler for sudden asthma attacks. Flovent Diskus is an inhaled steroid. If you are being switched from an oral steroid tablet to Flovent Diskus, you may experience joint pain, muscle pain, weakness, depression, or fatigue while your body adjusts to the absence of steroid tablets and increases its own production of steroids. You may also experience eye inflammation, eczema, arthritis, and nasal inflammation. People taking steroid medications run an increased risk of infections such as chickenpox and measles. High doses of steroid medications such as fluticasone can cause a condition known as Cushing's syndrome. The risk of developing Cushing's syndrome and other side effects increases when you take other steroid medications while using fluticasone. Prednisone and dexamethasone are examples of oral steroid medications. Also be sure to check with your doctor before combining fluticasone with ketoconazole (Nizoral) or HIV drugs known as protease inhibitors.
