"Flovent" With steroids in cause infertility in men? My Husband and I are trying to concieve but he has been using his reliever or inhaler 3 times a day and the doctor put him now on Flovent. I really would like some information regarding his medication before I let him take it. I would love to have a kid. Flovent has a steroid in it and I pretty much know the side affects of steroids but I don't know if the same side affects are present in this drug as well regarding infertility.Please give me just a little information regarding this.I DO NOT WANT A COPY AND PASTE.. I want the real answer from a real person. Thank you all-If anyone knows of anything healthy or with herbs that will help as well.. please tell me..or some great links for healthy medications rather then the over the counter stuff.Thank you all-

1) There are no doctors on this site.2) Don't ask people here.3) Why would you think that people actually KNOW that Flovent causes infertility...4) We can't give you any freakin' answer because you required no copy and paste .. People aren't that smart here! 5) GO ASK A DOCTOR!

Flovent does have side effects, but steroids taken for asthma are generally not absorbed into the blood stream in large amount, so the risks of steroid-based side effects are considerably lower.Using a reliever 3 times a day - that's probably a level of asthma you want to take seriously. There's really bad medication compliance in general for asthma, and it's not a good thning. I'm not aware of any herbs that will help, but if you do hear about any, make sure you talk to your doc before getting your husband to avoid medication.

I have been on flovent for several years I can't find any thing that says it could cause infertility. I do know that you need to rinse your mouth out to prevent thrush.It comes hfa 44mcg-110mcg and hfg220mcg. If you may still be in doubt call your local drug store.I read all the information that comes with it. I would never take the word on any drug that I use from a non-professional

Well' flovent is a steriod Cortisteroid to be precise its used to reduce lung inflamation... If you want to reduce his asthma symptoms his enviroment should be void of triggers.Pet dander, cat or dog, Smoking, He should avoid heavy dairy, milk eggs, cheese, and eat bannas occasionally as the drugs from asthma deplete pottasium levels in the blood..If he started working out at a local gym , and also bought an air cleaner of somesort he may not need to use the medication at all...
