In previous studies, high doses of inhaled fluticasone did not cause serious problems. However, if you happen to overdose on a fluticasone inhaler, you should seek medical attention immediately.
(Click Flovent Overdose for more information.)
Fluticasone inhalers should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. The fluticasone Diskus must be discarded six weeks after you remove it from the protective foil pouch.
Keep this and all other medications out of the reach of children.
If you do not take your fluticasone inhaler as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take double the dose of fluticasone.
