Arnuity Ellipta (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "Started taking Arnuity Ellipta 12 days ago. Asthma was pretty controlled then after i started taking Arnuity it got worse. Started getting numbness, discomfort in my right leg. Loss of appetite, nausea and got a cold right off the bat. Will stop taking it and pretty sure my side effects will clear up. Also on Nucala which has been awesome."

Flovent (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "I have used Advair, Pulmicort, and Serevent for maintenance of my asthma and have had fine experiences with all of them. I recently tried Flovent and I love it. The instructions say that it can take multiple weeks for symptoms to improve, but mine improved seemingly immediately. I was taking my albuterol constantly and over the last 2 weeks have only had to take it a handful of times. The relief I get from taking Flovent has been well worth it so far and I plan on using it for at least a few months and see if anything changes. Throughout the day sometimes I have been feeling like I don't even have asthma which has been a welcome relief because I have been uninsured for most of the last 1.5 years and haven't had access to asthma medication because of that. I would highly recommend using Flovent. I also think that Advair, Serevent, and Pulmicort are all fine options as well but I am going to stick with Flovent for now."

Flovent HFA (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "My son was diagnosed with asthma at 5 years old. It has gotten worse as he's aged. Within the last 2 years, peaking. I was giving him Albuterol up to 4 times a day, a day when he got sick, we were in the E. R often. Finally we got a new pediatric doc, and they prescribed Flovent. This drug is great. My son now only uses his rescue Inhaler when he has a lot of chest congestion. The Flovent allows him to run, play, and go all day without Albuterol! So glad we found it. And no side effects at all."

Flovent (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "This medicine stopped the random sharp pains I would have in my chest after a long haul flu like infection. It also drastically reduced any asthma symptoms. Side effects were blurry vision at first, but went away with continued use. I am now tapering it down to see if I am able to stop using it altogether. Very grateful for this life saving med"

Flovent (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "I agree with several others, Flovent was fast at managing my allergy/exercise induced asthma. Seriously within a day or two I have decreased albuterol usage and the third day, I was symptom free. I did not specifically notice joint pain related to this medication but I do experience some pain at times in hands...I attributed that to getting older. I do however notice a dreaded 5 lbs weight gain each time I am on it that quickly subsides when it's my off season."

Flovent HFA (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "My son has taken this medication for asthma maintenance for nearly 4 years. When he takes it consistently, he has very few asthma exacerbations. Before he was on it, he had to be hospitalized due to a severe attack and status asthmaticus. When he missed it for a few days, he had another exacerbation requiring emergency treatment. I'd say the medicine is effective for him. He has had no side effects."

Flovent (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "Horrible! My son had the worst behavioral issues from it. The meds seemed to work ok on his asthma prevention but he was aggressive and violent. We switched him back to Alvesco and within a week he was back to normal."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Not really a wonder medicine. Been on this 200 mcg powder for nearly 3 months and the Pharmacist told me it's a type of steroid that takes 3-4 months to work. The Pharmacist also said that once it kicks in, I won't need to use my rescue inhaler (Ventolin) anymore. Well, it's been a solid 3 months, and all I can say is that it's not doing anything to me at all. No side effects, but no notice of change in my breathing at all either. I still need my inhaler 3-4 times per day. So I am not knocking this drug, but in my experience, it's HIGHLY overrated by Pharmacists. Had asthma for over 40 years, and this is not the "end all be all" drug for me. Oh well, thank goodness for my Ventolin! :-) I will update again in 3 more months."

Flovent (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "When it actually comes out of the inhaler it is a decent product. The problem is it is clogged and requires cleaning 2/3 of the time. Wish my insurance still covered Asmanex a product that works and dispenses every time."

Arnuity Ellipta (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "Picked up my prescription - 200 mcg - 6 days ago. After taking the prescribed dosage 2 days, developed hoarseness and sore throat. Did not take any dosage for the past 3 days. I'm not sure the medicine is helping me if this is the reaction I have. Doctor said I should take a 1/2 dose today, and then every other day. I'm considering consulting a new doctor for advice."

Flovent HFA (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "I have COPD and CHF. Combined they left me unable to walk more than a couple hundred meters without stopping to catch my breath and recharge my weak legs. After starting Flovent I notice a marked improvement in my overall stamina. Works well for me."

Flovent (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "I have used this for over a year. Absolutely no side effects from the Flovent HFA. The powder type irritated my throat and caused hoarseness. Highly recommend the Flovent HFA for mild asthma. And yes, if you stop it, it will take you 2 weeks to get back to normal again."

Flovent (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "If you found your self on the ground trying to catch a bit of air then you know albuterol is a life saver. I got where I couldn't eat candy and walk and breathe at the same time. During the covid two days I used half of my albuterol 100 doses I was giving Flovent and 5 minutes later I could breathe no breathe like I hadn't in over 10 years in my book as of now here is my 10 points out of 10 I'm still blown away"

Flovent HFA (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "I had been wheezing for a while, went to ER, was treated for Upper Respiratory Infection. About a month later wheezing started again my Doctor sent me to asthma specialist who put me on Albuterol, later had to be taken off. I've been through so much in the last year. One of my doctors put me on flovent about two weeks ago, I couldn't sleep for wheezing and coughing. After a couple of days on flovent I notice I wasn't coughing or wheezing anymore, I feel a lot better, I think its because of the carpet in my apartment, so did my Doctor."

Flovent HFA (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "I have been having a rough few months with my asthma needing my rescue inhaler 6+ times a day, I gave in to taking a steroid asthma medication, the 2nd day after I started this my lungs started burning and I started coughing hard like I have bronchitis, the 3rd day it was worse, I stopped taking it and after 2 days off I am feeling better. One of the side effects is causing an upper respiratory infection, well that happened rather quickly for me."

Flovent HFA (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "Have had asthma all my life. Asthma specialist had me on Qvar and felt great. Insurance stopped paying and was put on Flovent. Lungs went down hill in a week. Sore chest, wheezing, coughing on and off all day and throat was sore, lung function test way down. Year later insurance changed and was put back on Qvar. Symptoms are gone and lung function up and almost normal!! Thank god!"

Flovent HFA (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "I had been coughing for about two years and gradually getting worse. Because of my history of breast cancer in 2010 my doctor ordered a CT Scan of the chest. Results indicated Emphysema/COPD. I tried Breo Ellipta first but was plagued by nausea. Started Flovent November 15/22 and now only an occasional cough. I am thrilled with the improvement. The only side effect is an occasional raspy voice at times."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I was on Flovent Diskus 250 mcg twice daily for approximately a year before I discontinued due to insurance dropping it and a lack of efficacy. It really worked well for my daytime asthma symptoms, but did very little to treat my nocturnal symptoms. It didn't give me any side effects, though, which was nice."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I'm stopping this drug immediately. I'm sitting awake again with the.most severe foot and toe cramps that I have had in my life. I had an asthma flare a month ago and started taking flovent again and my gosh the pain and foot cramps are too much. I'll find anything to take other than this. I have lost sleep every time I take it. No more. I'd rather just have attacks and go to emergency. I need to sleep. This drug is dangerous for some of us. I used tontake this no problems a few years a go and now I can't even take it. I have mild asthma and Transverse Myelitis. I'll ask for a different maintenance medication."

Arnuity Ellipta (fluticasone) for Asthma, Maintenance "Started this new med a couple weeks ago, gives me heartburn and I can taste the powder in my mouth after use. I don’t feel like it is as effective as my previous inhaler. Going to see if doctor can prescribe something else."
