In a 16-week study in patients with asthma requiring oral corticosteroids, the effects of FLOVENT Inhalation Aerosol, 660 mcg twice daily (N = 32) and 880 mcg twice daily (N = 32), were compared with placebo. Adverse events (whether considered drug-related or nondrug-related by the investigator) reported by more than 3 patients in either group treated with FLOVENT Inhalation Aerosol and that were more common with FLOVENT than placebo are shown below:

Ear, Nose, and Throat:

Pharyngitis (9% and 25%),
nasal congestion (19% and 22%),
sinusitis (19% and 22%),
nasal discharge (16% and 16%),
dysphonia (19% and 9%),
pain in nasal sinus( es) (13% and 0%),
Candida-like oral lesions (16% and 9%),
oropharyngeal candidiasis (25% and 19%).

Respiratory:

Upper respiratory infection (31% and 19%),
influenza (0% and 13%).

Other:

Headache (28% and 34%),
pain in joint (19% and 13%),
nausea and vomiting (22% and 16%),
muscular soreness (22% and 13%),
malaise/ fatigue (22% and 28%),
insomnia (3% and 13%).

Observed During Clinical Practice:

In addition to adverse events reported from clinical trials, the following events have been identified during postapproval use of fluticasone propionate. Because they are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, estimates of frequency cannot be made. These events have been chosen for inclusion due to either their seriousness, frequency of reporting, or causal connection to fluticasone propionate or a combination of these factors.

Ear, Nose, and Throat

Aphonia, facial and oropharyngeal edema, hoarseness, laryngitis, and throat soreness and irritation.

Endocrine and Metabolic

Cushingoid features, growth velocity reduction in children/ adolescents, hyperglycemia, osteoporosis, and weight gain.
