Flovent, steroid dependent

[Guest guest]

My Pulmo has diagnosed me as " steroid dependent asthma " . He is very happy with

my Xolair

response, not as good as I expected but it gave me a limited life back, which I

am happy

with. I am down to 20 mg of Prednisone daily and my Pulmo does not feel I should

go any

lower, for now anyway. I tried and big time symptoms came back.

I got to thinking (probably not a good thing, LOL), I am also taking a Flovent

inhaler, 220

mcg, two puffs, twice daily. How much steroids does this add to my medicine

intake daily. I

have looked on the internet and the insert in the Flovent to no avail. Does

anyone know, at

least the approximate intake of steroids from the Flovent inhaler?
