A member asked:
I stopped taking flovent hfa four days ago and today i have mild shortness of breath.?

Why did you stop?: I must assume you have asthma since Flovent was prescribed. Why did you stop? Flovent is intended for maintenance and should not be used for acute deterioration. You should supplement your treatment today with an immediate-acting medicine like albuterol.
