Forms and strengths
Medication entries grouped here
Strengths, dosage forms, brands, or package entries may vary. Your prescription label and pharmacist counselling are the instructions to follow.
| Brand / Generic | Strength | Form | DIN | Record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Flovent HFA Fluticasone Propionate | 125mcg/dose | MDI inhaler | Active |
Inhaled steroid left in the mouth can cause thrush (yeast). Rinse, gargle, and spit after each dose.
Inhaled steroids work over days to weeks. Daily use is what matters — not a fast effect.
Talk to the prescriber. Some patients step down in milder seasons; others need year-round control.
