Fluticasone "I'd been on Flovent 110 mcg for almost 2 decades for my asthma, and then I turn 26 and my new insurance no longer covers it, so I either pay $250 for 1 inhaler or $12 for 6 months of Arnuity. I've only been taking it for 2 months, but it does not work as well as the Flovent has. This spring season has had me take my rescue inhaler more often than I ever had to during the spring. Going to be asking my doctor if she has any ideas why it's not working as well. Thankfully, no side effects, but I had been on Flovent for practically my whole life, so I'm very used to the drug."
