Flovent Rotadisk (floo-TIK-a-sone) belongs to the family of medicines known as corticosteroids (cortisone-like medicines). It is used to help prevent the symptoms of asthma. When used regularly every day, inhaled Flovent Rotadisk decreases the number and severity of asthma attacks. However, it will not relieve an asthma attack that has already started. Inhaled Flovent Rotadisk works by preventing certain cells in the lungs and breathing passages from releasing substances that cause asthma symptoms. Flovent Rotadisk may be used with other asthma medicines, such as bronchodilators (medicines that open up narrowed breathing passages) or other corticosteroids taken by mouth. Flovent Rotadisk is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form(s): Inhalation Aerosol (U.S. and Canada) Powder for inhalation (U.S. and Canada)
