Flovent is a corticosteroid with serious side effects Among them are osteoporosis, overgrowth of Candida albicans, adrenal problems, cataracts, and on and on.
In addition to Ventolin you can use natural anti-inflammatories. There are many - vitamin C, vitamin B6, mullein, marshmallow, boswellia, ginger, and on and on. I use a nebulized albuterol combination (Duoneb) as the only prescription. I no longer use inhaled steroids after developing serious problems.
Because of serious side effects I stopped using steroid inhalers and switched to natural anti-inflammatories and mucolytics instead. The only medication I use now is albuterol which I use in a nebulizer. I also have a small portable nebulizer for when I am not at home. This is better for me than a measured dose albuterol inhaler because I only use what I need at any given time. My health is better with natural products than it was with a steroid inhaler.
Hi, I have a daughter with EE, she was diagnosed 3 years ago, she is 9 now and she been on Singluar for the last 3 years which has helped a lot and there are no side effects (especially no agression). We are just starting to have problems again now and we are off to the Gastro again in a couple of weeks, but the Singluar was a great drug for her.
s hard to diagnose asthma in kids younger than 6-8 yrs. old. But I would try and keep him off all drugs as long as possible until you feel he really needs them. After awhile they lose their effect and if it was to get worse then they wouldn't be as effective. Go with your gut, mother's do know best and doctors just do their best guessing.
Severent (salmeterol) can have very serious side effects, death being the most notable. Flovent is a corticosteroid. Read the FDA warnings of February 2010.
Like you I have moderately severe COPD. I use Duoneb (similar to combivent) in a nebulizer and find it very helpful. I discontinued the use of Advair (which is basically a combination of Serevent and Flovent) because it almost killed me (choking). It also caused adrenal fatigue, was harming my eyes, and was subverting my immune system.
is Nizonide o safe for kids aged 8 and 13? My kids were complaining of bad stomach pain (younger one aged 8 was also having frequent potty - not very frequent) but also stomach cramps. And both have mild flu like symptoms
They were prescribed Nizonide O and Rablet by physician? Is it safe? My elder one (aged 3+) is still not okay and is having too much pain in throat too now and running nose.
I would assume they do get worse since the meds build up in your body. I have 3 kids ages 16,11,and 7. My husband and I have explained what to expect the best we could but I really don't want my kids to see mom sick all the time. My son just called and asked if I could drive him and some friends to the ice skating rink and I sadly had to tell him to ask dad.
Advair™ Diskus® (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) Inhalation Powder contains 2 medicines. The inhaled steroid Flovent® (fluticasone propionate) has a half life of around 5 hours, so it would be totally out of your system in a few days. The inhaled long-acting bronchodilator Serevent® (salmeterol) has a similar half life, so it would be totally out of your system after 5 days.
When steroid side effects occur, they may linger for weeks or even months after the medicine has been stopped.
Ive had asthma since I was in the 4th grade I am now 27 and have 3 kids. I absolutly can not go with out an inhaler. My kids are perfect. I don't like advare but flovent and aberterol is what I have been on for years. I would not stop taking any of the medicines that you are taking currently without your docters permission. That could be dangerous. I would ask about the flovent everyone is different and there are differnt types of treatment.
The cough cleared up for the most part, as did the wheeze, but the meds had serious side effects – I stopped the Levaquin after 8 doses, because it was making me depressed and exhausted, which I still am. I am also still coughing a bit (producing a little mucus), and feel short of breath, but my lung function is at 92% and I have optimal peak flow (475). I’ve cut back my meds to 220mg flovent twice a day, and albuterol when necessary.

Could he have learned the behavior from the older child, how does she behave with him ?
I take more when I have bad attacks (maximum of 10 mg/day) and less when I just have wheezing (minimum of 3 mg/day) There are no side effects for me except having difficulty sleeping sometimes. I take 3mg of melatonin to address that.
My question is, how long can I be taking this dosage? Indefinitely till I have just have some wheezing and mild attacks?
