Talk:Fluticasone propionate

Flovent HFA
Flovent Diskus/HFA are inhaled fluticasone propionate and both of them require prescriptions should the Legal status be edited to reflect those cases? 66.102.196.60 (talk) 08:28, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Opening heading
How exactly could a corticosteroid cause anaphylaxis? I was expecting the side-effects to mention a lowered immune system and increased risk of infection... preventing allergic reaction is sort of the POINT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 03:25, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, the nasal spray has all sorts of stuff along with the corticosteroid to keep it in suspension and deliver it. Perhaps the reaction was to one of those items? Hga (talk) 12:07, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Drug side effects are most often just a list of any reported adverse outcomes during the initial clinical trials - that is the case here. They may not be directly caused by the drug at all. I have changed the language to clarify this. 72.154.230.10 (talk) 12:47, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Propionate vs. propanoate
I note that fluticasone propionate is the name used by most manufacturers, as well as being essentially the only name currently used in the medical scientific literature. In light of this, I think the insistence on "propanoate" is more confusing than informative. 72.154.230.10 (talk) 05:05, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Side Effects
"bruising (erythema nodosum)" is listed with the possible side effects with the following reference provided: https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a695002.html#side-effects However, I saw no mention of erythema nodosum in that reference, and erythema nodosum as I understand it is an autoimmune reaction distinct from bruising. Maybe an expert can clarify this and provide a reference (and apologies if this request doesn't conform to Wikipedia practices - I don't have any experience providing Wikipedia edits, but this seems like an important issue to clarify). Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.0.81.60 (talk) 16:38, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing this up! I've edited the side effect section to reflect what you pointed out.― Bio chemistry 🙴 ❤   22:26, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Fluticasone propanoate → — Requesting to move this page back to "fluticasone propionate", the name used by all manufacturers of this drug as well as medical scientists, see above. 67.32.194.89 (talk) 02:57, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME. The British National Corpus has 33 occurrences of fluticasone propionate and none of fluticasone propanoate. The Corpus of Contemporary American English has one of the former and none of the latter. ― A._di_M.3rd Dramaout (formerly Army1987) 22:07, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

The structure is incorrect
It should not have a wedged hatched single bond between the carbonyl oxygen of the propionic acid (in the ester) and the carbon under the tertiary alcohol of the steroid. 209.94.144.13 (talk) 21:18, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Flovent discontinuation
The product has been discontinued in the United States, and therefore we should consider removing it from the article https://community.aafa.org/blog/flovent-hfa-and-flovent-diskus-asthma-medicines-being-discontinued 24.136.36.132 (talk) 01:52, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
