What is Flovent and How to Take It
Flovent (fluticasone propionate) is an inhaled corticosteroid medication used to treat asthma, Bronchitis or chronic respiratory diseases and conditions characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, e.g. COPD. It reduces inflammation in the airways, which helps prevent symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. Flovent is not meant for immediate relief during asthma attacks but rather as a long-term maintenance treatment to prevent symptoms from occurring. It comes as an inhaler and is typically used daily, even when symptoms are absent, to control asthma and reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.
Flovent over the counter is not available. It is a prescription medicine after proper consultation with a doctor. To take Flovent, Shake the inhaler and remove the cap to check the mouthpiece. Breathe out completely to empty your lungs. Hold the inhaler with your index and middle fingers on the canister and your thumb at the base. Put the mouthpiece between your teeth while snugly enclosing it with your lips. Inhale slowly and deeply while pressing firmly on the canister to release one puff of medication into your lungs. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly through your nose. If instructed to take more than one puff, wait 30 seconds to 1 minute before repeating the process. Remember to rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use. Always read the specific instructions provided with the inhaler or by your doctor for proper usage guidelines.
