Flonase nasal spray is a remedy for the stuffy, runny, itchy nose
that plagues many allergy-sufferers. It can be used either for seasonal
attacks of hay fever or for year-round allergic conditions. Flonase
is a steroid medication. It works by relieving inflammation within
the nasal passages.
The Flovent, Flovent Rotadisk, and Flovent Diskus oral inhalers are
used to prevent flare-ups of asthma. (They will not, however, relieve
an acute attack.) They sometimes serve as a replacement for the steroid
tablets that many people take to control asthma. Most important fact about FLIXONASE FREE rX
FLIXONASE FREE rX is not an instant cure. It may take a few days for FLIXONASE FREE rX
to start working; and you need to keep taking it regularly in order
to maintain its benefits. While you are waiting for FLIXONASE FREE rX to
take effect, neither increase the dose nor stop taking FLIXONASE FREE rX.
How should you take FLIXONASE FREE rX?
Flonase is taken in the nostrils. For best effect, take the prescribed
doses at regular intervals. First, blow your nose. Then shake the spray
bottle gently, prime the pump 6 times if it hasn't been used during
the past week, tilt your head back, press one nostril closed, and insert
the tip of the bottle a short way into the other nostril. Spray once,
pull the tip of the bottle away from your nose, and inhale deeply through
the treated nostril. Repeat with the other nostril. Avoid spraying
in eyes.
Flovent inhalation aerosol is taken orally. Shake the canister before
each use. Take a deep breath and exhale. Then, as you begin to inhale,
put your lips around the mouthpiece and depress the canister. Rinse
your mouth with water after each use of the inhaler. Avoid spraying
the contents in your eyes.
Flovent Rotadisk inhalation powder is also taken orally. Assemble
the Rotadisk Diskhaler according to package instructions. To use, exhale,
then place the Diskhaler mouthpiece between your teeth (without biting
down) and close your lips firmly around it. (Be careful to avoid covering
the small air holes on either side of the mouthpiece.) Breathe in through
your mouth as deeply as you can, then hold your breath while you remove
the Diskhaler. Continue to hold your breath as long as you comfortably
can, up to a maximum of 10 seconds.
Flovent Diskus is a disposable oral inhaler that contains 60 inhalations.
It must be kept dry. Do not wash it or attempt to take it apart. Always
activate the inhaler in a level, horizontal position. Do not exhale
into it. Do not use a spacer.

Flixotide, Flovent)
Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next
dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule.
