Precaution

Localized infections of the mouth and pharynx with Candida albicans reported with inhaled corticosteroids Not indicated for use as rescue therapy for acute bronchospasm Potential worsening of existing tuberculosis; fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections; or ocular herpes simplex; more serious or even fatal course of chickenpox or measles in susceptible patients; use caution because of potential for worsening of these infections; if exposed to chickenpox, prophylaxis with varicella-zoster immune globulin or pooled IV immunoglobulin may be indicated; if a patient is exposed to measles, prophylaxis with pooled IM immunoglobulin (IG) may be indicated Caution when withdrawing from systemic corticosteroids and transferring to inhaled corticosteroids; taper systemic corticosteroids gradually and monitor for symptoms of HPA axis suppression and adrenal insufficiency; prednisone reduction can be accomplished by reducing the daily prednisone dose by 2.5 mg on a weekly basis during therapy Systemic absorption from inhaled corticosteroids is low, but hypercorticism and adrenal suppression may occur with very high dosages or at regular dosage in susceptible individuals; if changes occur, discontinue therapy slowly Long-term use decreases bone mineral density; patients with major risk factors for decreased bone mineral content, such as prolonged immobilization, family history of osteoporosis, postmenopausal status, tobacco use, advanced age, poor nutrition, or chronic use of drugs that can reduce bone mass (e.g., anticonvulsants, oral corticosteroids) should be monitored and treated with established standards of care May cause reduction in growth velocity when administered to children and adolescents Glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and cataracts have been reported in patients following the long-term administration of inhaled corticosteroids Epistaxis, nasal ulceration, Candida albicans infection, nasal septal perforation, impaired wound healing; monitor patients periodically for signs of adverse effects on nasal mucosa; avoid use in patients with recent nasal ulcers, nasal surgery, or nasal trauma Lactation No information is available on the presence of fluticasone furoate in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production Low concentrations of other inhaled corticosteroids have been detected in human milk The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for the drug and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from fluticasone furoate or from the underlying maternal condition
