Use the Flovent Diskus inhaler as instructed by your doctor. If you already have an inhaler, it should be used as a back up for immediate relief. In all other cases speak with your doctor on ways to manage multiple inhalers.

A: You should not loose immunity or vaccination after using the Flovent Diskus inhaler, but your body may have difficulty showing signs of infection during treatment with this medication. Therefore, it's important to practice good hygiene and avoid being around people with transmittable diseases while using the Flovent Diskus inhaler. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist to learn more about how your immune system works during treatment with the Flovent Diskus inhaler.
