Fluticasone for Asthma, Maintenance "I had a similar experience to some of the other posters. Sore throat, hoarseness, coughing up green phlegm. Doc told me to discontinue for now. It does seem that I’ve used my rescue inhaler less since, but not sure if it’s worth the side effects."

Fluticasone for Asthma, Maintenance "Picked up my prescription - 200 mcg - 6 days ago. After taking the prescribed dosage for 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. The doctor said I should take a 1/2 dose today, and then every other day. I'm considering consulting a new doctor for advice."

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."

Fluticasone for Asthma, Maintenance "Worked great for the first few months. Developed blurred vision and hoarseness. Went into ENT and had vocal cord paralysis on one side. Slowly weaned myself off Arnuity, and paralysis went away. Will need to try something else."
