AI Summary
This presentation provides an overview of Fluticasone, also known as Flovent, a medication used to treat inflammation of the airways, primarily targeting the pediatric population. Flovent is classified as a corticosteroid, reducing airway inflammation and easing breathing difficulties. Common side effects include sore throats and headaches. The medication works by blocking natural substances that cause allergy symptoms and is typically administered via nasal spray once or twice daily. While Flovent offers benefits such as improved breathing, it can interact with natural substances promoting respiratory inflammation. Pediatric patients often face breathing problems like pneumonia, asthma, and COPD, making Flovent a relevant treatment option. Home remedies, such as consuming foods rich in antioxidants and herbal meals, are also discussed as alternative treatments, though their effects are generally slower compared to Flovent.
