| 5 | EoE | Kept me awake at night but nothing else | It worked wonders for my EoE, almost started working immediately, literally gave me my life back! | F | 18 | 2 years 2X day | 11/30/2022 | 5 | Asthma | No Side Effects | I AM ADHD & take Adderall . I took Ritalan since I was 12 years old. I Believe this is why there are zero side effects Something to do with the hyperactivity virtually no side effects or allergies to any medications! I hope this helps! | M | 60 | 20 days 440 MCG | 9/23/2019 | 5 | Transient asthma croup | This has been life saving for my son. He has currently transient asthma that causes croup inflammation that narrows his throat to the point of hospitalization. From the time he was 18 months we dreaded any respiratory virus as he would croup. Started this at age 6 at the lowest possible dose per our allergist and we have not had any issues or one croup related transient episode. And my son has had no side effects that have been mentioned on this board. The pediatrician is more mindful of growth just in case, but we are not worried because there are things for that too and the benefits outweigh the risks in that case. | Make sure you have an allergist that starts at the lowest doses possible for treatment effectiveness with monthly follow ups until achieved. Some start too high, and it might be cAusing side effect issues. | M | 8 | 2 years 88mcg | 5/4/2019 | 5 | Asthma | Barely noticeable jitters, =/same as albuterol | NO OTHER competitor comes even CLOSE to doing the job and getting it done, over with. Rarely have to employ it again, even not next day. Express Scripts overs 3 alternate "solutions" that fail miserably - does not cover Flovent & denies appeals. | M | 67 | 20 years 110mcg 1X AN | 7/5/2016 | 5 | Asthma | None | Have taken on and off over many years. It has been life saving. I would not be alive today without it. I have had no side effects. | 66 | 20 years 220 mcg 2X day | 4/10/2016 | 5 | Asthma | On increased doses when ill, (880 mcg daily) I have experienced vivid strange dreams,as well as increased agitation. But,these side effects never deterred me from continuing therapy. On my normal doseage(440 mcg daily) I experience NO side effects at all. | This inhaler has improved my quality of life immensely. I have not had an attack in 15+ years because of being on Flovent. There have been many times that I have been sick with bronchitis and my Asthma would flare up..without this I would have been hospitalized. I highly recommend long term usage. | F | 40 | 10 years 110 mcg | 9/20/2015 | 5 | reactive airway/asthma | None | This med has been a life-saver. My daughter has not wheezed since she started this drug. Before this, we were in the ER with every cold she got. She is 2.5, diagnosed with RAD at 18 mos. Rescue inhalers are not a substitute for long term control. If this drug does not work for your child, find another control! it is necessary. | F | 2.5 | 120 days 44mcg 2X day | 9/22/2014 | 5 | asthma | hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, thrush, tingling fingers, muscle weakness legs | Few mild side effects, but this has been the only inhaler that has worked for me and I only use my rescue inhaler twice a week instead of 4 times a day now. I can circumvent the oral side effects with hydrogen peroxide/water rinse. | F | 47 | 3 months 110mg 2X day | 8/28/2014 | 5 | Asthma | No side effects and I find it curious parents mentioning things such as teeth grinding, mood swings and being clingy. NEWS FLASH...that is normal behavior for children, whether we like it or not. My daughter has been grinding her teeth since she was 6 months old. By the way, many children grind their teeth. I work in dental field and it's common knowledge. Parents may want to look into other reasons for the sudden erratic behavior. Also, growth has not been as issue either. I am not trying to minimize parental observations but I do believe that sometimes, we as parents, tend exxagerate. I see it ever day!!! | My daughter was hospitalized for 5 days when she was 2 years old and then for 3 additional days six months later. We were already using the nebulizer after her first episode which was pretty much useless. After they prescibed flovent, she has been stable and her catching a cold is less scary now. She episodes were triggered by colds & chest congestion. Both my husband and I are very happy with her results. | F | 3 | 44mcg 2X day | 8/16/2012 | 5 | Reactive Airway | No side effects. | Unbelievable, I can't believe the improvement in one week. I can finally sleep through the night and breath comfortably. I didn't know how uncomfortable I was until this stuff started to work. I also started using Flonase at the same time. My nose is currently wonderful. | F | 40 | 1 weeks 110 MG 2X day | 7/26/2012 | 5 | Asthma | None yet. It's good to be able to breathe well and have the energy I need to lead a normal life. Was always tired and sleeping 12 hours a day before... Now I am good on 8. | M | 67 | 4 days | 1/16/2012 | 5 | Asthma | No side effects. Flovent has been a godsend for us and has kept my DD out of the hospital. | My DD started Flovent 44 mcg 2 puffs 2x per day when she was 6 months old. She went up to Flovent 110 2 puffs 2x per day when she was 3 and alternates between that and Flovent 220. When we have tried to wean her off of Flovent, she has been hospitalized every time for asthma. She is a sweet, sunny natured easy 7.5 year old who has a fantastic attention span, is super smart and is loved by her teachers and friends. She does very well in school, music, ballet etc. Without Flovent, her asthma would be out of control. | F | 40 | 7 years 220 2 puff 2X day | 2/28/2011 | 5 | asthma | None that I know of | My 4 year old has been on this for about 2 years and I'm QUITE PLEASED with the results. He was getting pneumonis, bronchitis, croup every year until he started this. It's gotten so much better that this year he has a little croupy cough but doesn't even need to visit the doctor for it! | M | 4 | 2 years 44mcg 2X day | 1/31/2011 | 5 | Sarcoidosis & Asthma | A miracle drug. I have been on Azmacort for over 10 years, and was getting worse & worse with increased shortness of breath. Azmacort has been discontinued and it turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened to me. My pulmonary doctor substitued Flovent, and after being on it for only a few weeks, my breathing is better than it was 20 years ago, and I have absolutley NO SIDE EFFECTS. I can sleep, no heart palpitations like with Azmacort. I feel like shouting from the roof tops, just how wonderful this drug is. A true miracle!! | Please make your own decision about this drug. I have been on inhaled steroids for over 15 years, and this is the best one yet. I would do anything NOT to have to take oral steroids, and thank goodness Azmacort was discontinued so that I could discover this truly miracle drug. Everyone will have different reactions to drugs, and maybe this is NOT for children from reading some of the "horror stories", but for those of us that suffer from really awful lung disease (Sarcoidosis & pulmonary fibrosis), this drug is a GOD SEND! | F | 58 | 2 months | 12/27/2009 | 5 | Asthma | None | I am a 21 year old just diagnosed with asthma by a pulmonary specialist, she had me on advair at first but I couldn't deal with the heart-related side effects I had everyday while on that medication. My doctor thought the only reason for these side effects was because it was a steroid so we tried once a day spiriva for my asthma, however without a steroid I was forced to use my rescue inhaler multiple times daily and never quite found relief, always felt like my chest was tight. My doctor told me after the fires in my area I needed to be back on a steroid inhaler because spiriva wasn't enough because I always had to be on prednisone tapers. So she prescribed flovent (1 puff 2x daily) and I've had NO side effects at all. I can finally breathe again everyday and RARELY use my rescue inhaler it is amazing!! | F | 21 | 2 months | 12/20/2009 | 5 | asthma | My son has taken flovent 2 puffs daily since a severe asthma attack in 2007 that left him on a vent for 3 days. Flovent daily has helped although he has complained of not sleeping well over the past two years & now severe leg cramps & joint pain.My dr feels the two are unrelated... | M | 9 | 2 years | 8/3/2009 | 5 | asthma | sore throat, horseness | This med has changed my life. I have never able to run or play sports because I have had such problems with shortness of breath and wheezing. I also have seasonal allergies which are quite severe (I had to do allergy shots as a child) and exacerbate my asthma. I went from not being able to run around the block, to running my first 5K road race last month!!!! I'm going to do another next week. I do have a chronic sore throat and am hoarse, but those side effects come and go, and I try to be vigilant about rinsing well after using the med. But I consider those small prices to pay for the ability to breathe and live well. Hoping I don't encounter some of the more severe side effects others have talked about here. Much of the other side effects mentioned here with respect to flovent(aggression, behavioral changes, depression) I experienced when taking zyrtec to control my allergies. | F | 44 | 30 days | 6/2/2009 | 5 | asthma | noproblem | perect for 10year old | M | 15 | 6 months | 5/21/2009 | 5 | asthma | none known | I've been on Flovent 110 for 12 years. I take 1 puff 1 time a day and it has DRAMATICALLY changed my life. I struggled for years as a child, beginning when I was 5. Within weeks I was free of the "wheezies". I now run, job, swim, dance-things I had never known as a child. I venture my neighborhood without my albuterol and don't freak out if I leave my purse and forget my resue inhaler. I have about 5-6 ashtma attacks a year now (opposed to 10-15 a week before) that are triggered by colds or hayfever. I just up my dose of Flovent and I'm fine. So far so good-I'm a long termer I suppose | F | 33 | 12 years | 4/27/2009 | 5 | Asthma | None | Flovent keeps my airways open when exposed to allergies--without it, I am forced to overuse my rescue inhaler | M | 20 | 8 days | 4/12/2009 |
