Flovent

I have been on Flovent 110, 4 puffs a day for 6 months now and I have gained 4 lbs., started bruising, started having facial hair like peach fuzz, my fingers are always swollen and I feel stiff all over.  Has anyone else had these things happen to them?

Sherbear56,

Fluticasone (Flovent) is a steroid and so it does have the property to do those things you have listed. It is  considered a side effect and I suggest you talk to your doctor about switching to a different medication.
