It is when you have asthma that the walls inside the airways become swollen and this makes the air passages very susceptible and they respond actively to many of the things that you have allergies to. It is when this happens that the air passages get constricted preventing free flow of air through them. This condition is called a bronchospasm and is the cause of symptoms like wheezing, coughing, breathing difficulties and a feeling of tightness in the chest.

Flovent is an aerosol that is available in metered dose inhalers and it is presented in different strengths. Normally you are expected to take one or two puffs twice daily.
