Fluticasone HFA is a medication that belongs to a class of asthma medications known as inhaled corticosteroids. The medication in the environmentally friendly inhaler can help prevent asthma attacks. However, it should not be used to treat an asthma attack, since fluticasone HFA does not act fast enough to be effective in such situations. Side effects may include upper respiratory tract infections, headaches, and sinus infections.
