Fluticasone (topical) is used in the treatment of allergic disorders and asthma.

Fluticasone (topical) is a corticosteroid. It acts by stopping the release of certain natural substances in the body that are responsible for inflammation.

Hoarseness of voice, Throat irritation, Cough

• Fluticasone (topical) ‘dampens down’ inflammation in the lungs to provide long-term (maintenance) treatment of asthma and prevent disease progression.
• Fluticasone (topical) will not work for an ongoing asthma attack. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing.
• Learn the correct technique of using metered dose inhalers (MDI) and dry powder inhalers (DPI) to ensure that the right amount of medication reaches your lungs, and side effects are minimized.
• Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
• Take it at the same time every day to prevent asthma attacks.
• Do not open and close the cover unnecessarily as you will lose the medicine.
• Never breathe out into the mouthpiece.
• Only minuscule amounts of Fluticasone (topical) may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence, serious side effects such or weight gain are unlikely.
