Flovent Hfa

Fluticasone Propionate

I am taking Flovent Hfa 120 Inh 110mcg. Is there a good substitute that is not as expensive? ## There is no generic for any formulation of Flovent currently available, from what I've found the soonest that one may reach market would be around December 2012. Have you discussed this issue with your doctor? There are several other corticosteroid inhalers available, but I am not sure what would be cheaper, compared to what you are paying now, since you didn't state how much it costs in your area. ## You might find one in your insurance listed in the alternative list but I DID NOT. re: Discuss/Flovent-alternative-284510.htm
