Fluticasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid. It can be broken down into two smaller subgroups, Fluticasone Propionate and Fluticasone Furoate. Both versions are used for similar purposes, to treat:

• Allergic rhinitis
• Asthma
• COPD
• Chronic bronchitis
• Emphysema
• Nasal polyps
• Crohn's disease
• Ulcerative colitis
• Skin disorders
• Other allergic or inflammatory conditions

For treating such a range of conditions it's possible to buy Fluticasone in a range of formulations, including nasal sprays, inhalers, powders, creams, and ointments. In some areas it's also available in a tablet, though use in that respect is relatively limited.

As there are numerous formulations, it's possible to buy Fluticasone under a wide variety of brand and generic names. Flovent and Flixotide are common for inhaled versions, as are Advair and Breo in combination with other medications. Flonase is probably the most widely-recognized nasal spray, as is Cutivate in ointment form. Names will also vary depending on location.

Ages the medication can be used in vary from 4 and up to 12 and up. As a general rule, parents should not buy Fluticasone for children without doctor approval, even if the product is available over-the-counter. Glucocorticoids are steroids, which can stunt growth in children.

How it Works

As a steroid, Fluticasone inhibits immune response to irritants, in most cases allergens. This inhibition reduces inflammation and other symptoms, reducing both the frequency and severity of those attacks that do happen.

Fluticasone must be used regularly over the long term for significant benefit to be seen. Patients typically use it once or twice per day for several weeks, months, or indefinitely. Most people notice some improvement just 24 hours after the first dose, but it can take around 2 weeks for full benefit to be seen.

Those who have potentially life-threatening allergic reactions should not buy Fluticasone as a rescue treatment; the medication will not rapidly address the issue. Rescue treatments should continue to be kept on-hand for use if needed.

Dosage is highly variable, according to the formulation being used, age, weight, and other factors, but most significant among them is the severity of the condition being treated. It is not unusual for dosage to change periodically during treatment, particularly if the medication will be used for more than a few months at a time.

Potential Complications

Some individuals may not be good candidates for Fluticasone use; speak with a doctor if there is a history of:

• Systemic infection, such as tuberculosis
• Cataracts, glaucoma, or eye infections
• Osteoporosis (bone loss)
• Liver impairment

As mentioned above, Fluticasone is a steroid. Any steroid use in children may stunt growth, though this is more likely to occur if high doses of steroids are given over the long term. Those who buy Fluticasone for children are strongly advised to have the child seen by a physician at regular intervals.

In all ages long-term steroid use can reduce the body's ability to respond to stress. Again this is usually only an issue if using very high doses over the long term, but it is a small risk among other patients as well. Notify all doctors and dentists that Fluticasone is being used prior to surgery or emergency treatment. Carrying some sort of medical ID stating the medication is being taken is also a good idea.

As steroids inhibit the immune system's response, patients using Fluticasone are a bit more susceptible to infection. Care should be taken to avoid coming into contact with others who have contagious illnesses, and if an infection is suspected, a doctor should be seen so it can be addressed quickly. In the majority of cases an infection caught early is easily treated with antibiotics.
