Flovent HFA is a prescription inhaler used for the long-term control of asthma. It contains fluticasone propionate, an inhaled corticosteroid that helps reduce airway inflammation. When used consistently, Flovent helps decrease asthma symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Flovent HFA is a maintenance inhaler, not a rescue inhaler. It is taken daily to help prevent symptoms rather than treat sudden asthma attacks.

If an asthma attack does occur, use your quick-relief inhaler right away.

Flovent vs generic fluticasone HFA

Flovent and generic fluticasone HFA inhalers contain the same active ingredient (fluticasone propionate) and are used in the same way. Fluticasone propionate reduces swelling and irritation inside the airways, making breathing easier over time. 

Many patients choose generic fluticasone HFA because it is less expensive while offering the same therapeutic effect when used as prescribed. If your prescription allows substitution, a generic inhaler may be an option to reduce long-term asthma medication costs.

Flovent costs in Canada are generally lower than U.S. retail prices, especially for patients without insurance. The monthly cost of Flovent depends on your prescribed strength and the number of inhalers ordered. Buying multiple inhalers at once often reduces the average cost per inhaler and helps lower long-term treatment expenses.
