Description:
Flovent is a corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammatory reactions in the airways in response to allergens and irritants in the air.
Flovent is used to prevent bronchial asthma attacks. It will not treat an asthma attack that has already begun.
Cautions:
Do not use Flovent to treat an asthma attack that has already begun. It will not work fast enough to reverse your symptoms. Use another, faster-acting inhalation medication to treat an asthma attack.
Contact your doctor if your asthma symptoms do not improve after using Flovent for 2 weeks.
