GENERIC NAME: FLUTICASONE ORAL DISK

BRAND NAME(S): Flovent Rotadisk

USES: Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that works directly in the lungs to make breathing easier by reducing the swelling and inflammation of the airways. This medication must be used regularly to prevent the wheezing and shortness of breath caused by asthma, bronchitis, or some types of emphysema. It is recommended for use in adults and children 4 years of age and older. This medication does not work immediately. Therefore, it is not used to relieve an acute asthma attack. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler (e.g., albuterol, salbutamol) as prescribed.

HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet which contains instructions for proper use of this medication. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. Inhale this medication by mouth usually twice daily or as directed by your doctor. Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. It is important to inhale each dose deeply since this will determine how much of the drug gets into your lungs. Do not breathe out (exhale) into the inhaler device. If two inhalations are prescribed, wait at least one minute between them. If you are using other inhalers at the same time, wait several minutes between the use of each medication, and use this drug (the corticosteroid) last. To prevent dry mouth, hoarseness and oral yeast infections from developing, gargle and rinse your mouth after each use. Do not swallow the rinse solution. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. This medication works best if used consistently at even intervals. Remember to use it at the same times each day. Do not increase your dose, use this more frequently or stop using this medication without first consulting your doctor. It may take up to 2 weeks or longer before the full benefit of this drug takes effect. Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: This drug should not be used with the following medications because very serious interactions may occur: aldesleukin, mifepristone. If you are currently using any of these medications, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting fluticasone. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of: oral corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone, dexamethasone), drugs affecting the removal of fluticasone from your system (potent CYP 3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, ritonavir). Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.

NOTES: Do not share this medication with others. Learn to use a peak flow meter. Use it daily and promptly report worsening asthma (such as readings in the yellow or red range, or increased use of quick-relief inhalers). Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you need to use 4 or more puffs daily for 2 or more consecutive days or more than 1 inhaler (200 puff canister) every 8 weeks of your quick-relief inhaler. Make sure all of your doctors know that you are using this medication or have used it in the past. Laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., morning cortisol levels, lung function, eye exam) should be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details.
