Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / September 2005Flovent vs. Flovent HFA
I recently renewed my Flovent prescription (220 mcg per inhaled metered dose) and discovered that my Flovent had been replaced by Flovent HFA (CFC free, also 220 mcg per metered dose). I checked for differences in the medications after experiencing noticeable difficulty in breathing after the switch. As an example, I have to rest after doing 3 or 4 laps in the pool with the Flovent HFA, when I could do at least twice as many laps before a break with the original Flovent. I am also experiencing excess phlegm/mucous production. Has anyone else experienced anything similar after switching to Flovent HFA from Flovent? Any information from patients or medical professionals would be most welcome. Thanks. I was on the "old " Flovent for many years without any problem. As soon as I was switched to the Flovent HFA, my asthma became much worse. Spoke to my pulmonologist, who was very surprised since the "dosage is supposed to be the same. " Obviously the effectiveness is not the same...I guess the HFA does not work as well as the old stuff for some people. I am currently on Asmanex and doing much better. Good Luck. >I recently renewed my Flovent prescription (220 mcg per inhaled metered > dose) and discovered that my Flovent had been replaced by Flovent HFA [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Flovent?
