Generic Flovent vs Brand Flovent
If you are having a tough time making up your mind between the brand or generic, you might be interested to know that there are very minor differences between brand and generic Flovent HFA; both medications contain the medical ingredient Fluticasone Propionate. Fluticasone is marketed by GSK as Flovent in the North America only; Flovent is known as Flixotide in the rest of the world. Keep in mind that Blue Sky Drugs is a global pharmacy and your order of Flovent may have an alternate name depending on its country of origin; an alternate name DOES NOT make the medication a generic. Generic Flovent or Fluticasone inhaler is manufactured outside of a GSK facility; this is the biggest difference between Flovent and Fluticasone. Generic Fluticasone and Flovent are identical in dose, strength, safety, efficacy, chemical makeup and therapeutic use. At Blue Sky Drugs, we stand behind our products 100% and only provide you with the highest quality products from fully licensed pharmacies. If you have any questions regarding the generic manufacturers for Flovent or have any concerns feel free to contact us, call toll-free: 1-866-995-7387 or by email at: CustomerService@BlueSkyDrugs.com

Fluticasone is the active medicinal ingredient found in Flovent; it is a corticosteroid used to treat asthma. Fluticasone decreases lung inflammation and opens airways therefore reducing symptoms of asthma. When it is used regularly, Fluticasone prevents asthma attacks and the severity of the attacks. Fluticasone comes in many forms therefore it is important to use the medication exactly as prescribed.

Fluticasone Guidelines
Always inform your doctor about any medical conditions or medications you are currently taking as some factor may affect the way you should take this medication. Do not stop this medication suddenly as withdrawal symptoms may arise. Your doctor may suggest to gradually decrease the dose over time to effectively stop treatment. It is important to rinse your mouth after you use Fluticasone inhalers or discus as it can create an overgrowth of bacteria leading to a serious infection. Always maintain proper oral hygiene while used Fluticasone.
