FLOVENT DISKUS at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The brand-name medication FLOVENT DISKUS (fluticasone) was manufactured by GSK and was available in several countries. In New Zealand and Turkey, it is known as Flixotide, while in Canada,

The generic version is currently unavailable (at our pharmacy).

Dosage:

FLOVENT DISKUS, a dry powder inhaler (DPI) device, is also known as Accuhaler in some regions. Each Diskus device contained 60 individually sealed doses (blisters). It is available in the following strengths (at this pharmacy):
• 50 mcg/blister
• 100 mcg/blister
• 250 mcg/blister
• 500 mcg/blister

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

FLOVENT DISKUS (fluticasone propionate) is an inhaled corticosteroid primarily used for the long-term management of asthma in patients aged four and older. It reduces inflammation in the airways, effectively preventing asthma symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing, and decreasing the frequency and severity of asthma attacks. It's crucial to remember that FLOVENT DISKUS is not a rescue inhaler for sudden asthma attacks; patients should always have a separate short-acting bronchodilator for immediate relief. It must be used regularly as prescribed, typically twice daily, for optimal effectiveness, as its benefits build up over time. After each dose, it's recommended to rinse your mouth with water to prevent oral thrush.

Mechanism of Action
FLOVENT DISKUS, containing fluticasone propionate, primarily functions as an inhaled corticosteroid for managing asthma by reducing airway inflammation. Upon inhalation, fluticasone binds to glucocorticoid receptors within lung cells, modulating gene expression to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and cells like eosinophils and mast cells. This potent anti-inflammatory action decreases swelling and mucus in the airways, improving airflow, reducing airway hyper-responsiveness, and decreasing symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath. It is crucial to note that FLOVENT DISKUS is a preventative, long-term control medication and is not for immediate relief of acute breathing problems.

Use FLOVENT DISKUS exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the Canadian product monograph. Always consult your doctor for personalized guidance and to ensure safe and effective use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking FLOVENT DISKUS, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects of FLOVENT DISKUS (fluticasone). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects are some common side effects of FLOVENT DISKUS, but others are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.

These are generally mild and may go away on their own. You can often manage them by rinsing your mouth with water after each dose to prevent them.
• Cough
• Headache
• Hoarseness or voice changes
• Nausea and vomiting
• Sinus pain or infection
• Stuffy or runny nose
• Throat irritation
• Upper respiratory tract infection (e.g., common cold)
• Upset stomach

Serious Side Effects: These are rare but potentially severe side effects. Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following:
• Allergic Reactions: Hives, rash, itching, swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs, difficulty breathing or swallowing.
• Adrenal Gland Problems (Adrenal Insufficiency): Can occur, especially when switching from oral steroids. Symptoms include extreme tiredness, muscle weakness or pain, sudden stomach pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fainting, depression, irritability, and darkening of the skin.
• Bone Thinning (Osteoporosis): Long-term use, especially at high doses, can increase the risk of bone loss and fractures.
• Churg-Strauss Syndrome: A rare condition that can cause blood vessel inflammation. Symptoms include fever, cough, stomach pain, weight loss, skin rash, severe tingling, numbness, and chest pain.
• Eye Problems: Increased risk of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye) or cataracts (clouding of the eye lens). You may need regular eye exams. Report symptoms like blurred vision, eye pain, redness, seeing halos around lights, or any other vision changes.
• Fever (Fever is a less common side effect. As with any fever, it warrants prompt medical evaluation to rule out infection.)
• Paradoxical Bronchospasm: Sudden worsening of wheezing and difficulty breathing immediately after using the inhaler. Use your rescue inhaler and call your doctor right away.
• Slowed Growth in Children: Long-term use can affect the growth rate of children and adolescents. A child's doctor will monitor their growth carefully.
• Weakened Immune System: Increased risk of infections (e.g., chickenpox, measles, tuberculosis, fungal, bacterial, or viral infections).
• Worsening of existing infections

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting FLOVENT DISKUS, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

FLOVENT DISKUS should not be used:
• If you are allergic to fluticasone propionate or any other ingredients in FLOVENT DISKUS
• If you have a severe allergy to milk proteins: FLOVENT DISKUS contains lactose, which may contain trace amounts of milk proteins and could trigger an allergic reaction in individuals with a severe milk protein allergy (not lactose intolerance).
• For acute asthma attacks: FLOVENT DISKUS is a preventative medication, NOT a rescue inhaler. It will not relieve a sudden asthma attack or acute bronchospasm. You should always have a fast-acting bronchodilator (rescue inhaler) available for emergencies.
• For primary treatment of status asthmaticus or other acute episodes of asthma requiring intensive measures.
• In children under 4 years of age.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting FLOVENT DISKUS. This is crucial because certain conditions affect whether FLOVENT DISKUS is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Active or untreated infections: This includes pulmonary tuberculosis, fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections, or ocular herpes simplex. Corticosteroids like fluticasone can suppress the immune system and worsen these conditions.
• Been exposed to chickenpox or measles: These diseases can have a more serious or even fatal course in individuals using corticosteroids.
• Diabetes: Fluticasone may cause an increase in blood sugar levels.
• Glaucoma or cataracts: Long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids can affect eye pressure and contribute to these conditions.
• Liver disease: Impaired liver function can lead to increased levels of fluticasone.
• Osteoporosis or other bone problems: Long-term use of corticosteroids can affect bone density.
• Transferred from systemic corticosteroids: There's a risk of impaired adrenal function, and the transfer should be done slowly under medical supervision.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking FLOVENT DISKUS, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the FLOVENT DISKUS prescribing information: https://gskpro.com/content/dam/global/hcpportal/en_US/Prescribing_Information/Flovent_Diskus/pdf/FLOVENT-DISKUS-PI-PIL-IFU.PDF.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with FLOVENT DISKUS. FLOVENT DISKUS may interact with other medicines but not limited to:

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors - these are generally NOT recommended for use with FLOVENT DISKUS include:
• Antifungal medications:
o Clarithromycin (also an antibiotic)
o Itraconazole
o Ketoconazole
o Posaconazole
o Voriconazole
• HIV protease inhibitors:
o Atazanavir
o Cobicistat
o Darunavir
o Indinavir
o Lenacapavir o Nelfinavir
o Ritonavir
o Saquinavir
• Other medications:
o Conivaptan
o Idelalisib
o Ivosidenib
o Larotrectinib
o Lonafarnib
o Nefazodone (antidepressant)
o Telithromycin (antibiotic)

Other potential interactions (significant, moderate, or minor) and considerations include:
• Desmopressin
• Levoketoconazole
• Other corticosteroids: Concurrent use of other systemic corticosteroids may increase the risk of corticosteroid-related side effects.

Grapefruit
Avoid grapefruit products while using FLOVENT DISKUS. Grapefruit significantly interacts with FLOVENT DISKUS, raising fluticasone levels and increasing the risk of serious corticosteroid side effects. Avoid grapefruit products while using FLOVENT DISKUS.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Fluticasone propionate (the active ingredient in FLOVENT DISKUS) during pregnancy and breastfeeding is generally considered appropriate for asthma management, as systemic absorption is minimal, leading to low fetal or infant exposure. However, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals must consult their doctor to weigh the benefits of asthma control against any potential risks, ensuring personalized guidance and safe, effective treatment. Untreated asthma during pregnancy poses greater risks than controlled asthma with inhaled corticosteroids.
