Anyone on flovent

I had been on Flovent for rad after I just couldn't seem to get better after bronchitis in October. My gp put me on a w 6 week course. After 4 weeks I found out I was pg and my ob said to stop. My chest had been starting to feel better and know I can't tell if its in my head or I am sliding back to where I was before. I can breathe just fine, but sometimes I. Feel like if I took a good cough I could loosen mucus in my chest but I really don't think there is mucus there

Re: Anyone on flovent

  • I had been on Flovent prior to my first pregnancy, but stopped because I outgrew my asthma.  I don't really know if it does anything "bad" to you when you are pregnant... not that I know of because many people are on it for asthma control.  I just stopped because I knew it was a oral steroid and if I didn't need it anymore... I didn't see the point of using it.  Sorry this might not have helped much :-/

  • It's generally considered fine to use though it is a category C.  Your OB probably just had you stop it because you were doing better.  If you are feeling worse again you could ask for Pulmicort - it is a similar medicine, but it is a category B.
