fluticasone
Brand names: Fluticasone Propionate
# Fluticasone Overview Fluticasone is a medicine that helps reduce swelling and irritation in your airways and lungs. Doctors prescribe it to treat asthma and allergies that cause breathing problems. It works by calming down your immune system's reaction when it overreacts to certain triggers. This medicine comes as an inhaler that you breathe in through your mouth. It's important to use fluticasone regularly, even when you feel fine, because it works best when used every day to prevent symptoms from happening in the first place. Before using fluticasone, tell your doctor if you have any infections, especially in your lungs or throat, because this medicine can weaken your ability to fight certain germs. You should not use fluticasone if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. While using this medicine, rinse your mouth with water after each use to help prevent mouth problems. Keep fluticasone out of reach of children, and always use it exactly as your doctor tells you to. If your symptoms don't improve or get worse after using fluticasone, contact your doctor right away.
