For Asthma, Maintenance "Flovent helped me with my symptoms for the first two weeks. After continuing use for a period of a month, I started having a weird burning sensation in my chest, a sore throat all the time followed by dizziness and inflammation of the throat. I have stopped using on my own for three days now, and my symptoms are not back, but I no longer get dizzy or have a sore throat."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I had a similar experience to some of the other posters. Sore throat, hoarseness, coughing up green phlegm. Doc told me to discontinue for now. It does seem that I’ve used my rescue inhaler less since, but not sure if it’s worth the side effects."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I have used this for over a year. Absolutely no side effects from the Flovent HFA. The powder type irritated my throat and caused hoarseness. Highly recommend the Flovent HFA for mild asthma. And yes, if you stop it, it will take you 2 weeks to get back to normal again."
