It can also affect your eyes and cause\u00a0blurred vision, dryness,\u00a0 irritation, cataracts, increased intraocular pressure and conjunctivitis. Sometimes, allergic reactions are also observed displaying symptoms of itching, hives, swelling, angioedema, and anaphylaxis. Seek immediate medical help if you observe any of the above-mentioned symptoms. In some cases, it can also affect\u00a0 the normal functioning of the adrenal gland. Long term use has been shown to result in osteoporosis, especially in people who smoke, do not exercise regularly, have vitamin D or calcium deficiency, or have a family history of osteoporosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Availability of\u00a0Flovent Diskus 100:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Flovent Diskus 100 is available on prescription across all the pharmacies and health care facilities in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drug Trade Name:\u00a0Flovent Diskus 100, Flovent Diskus 250, Flovent 50 Category: Corticosteroid Generic Name: fluticasone propionate Introduction and quick information: Flovent Diskus 100 is an inhalation nasal powder that contains a fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid, as its active ingredient.
