Side Effects for Cutivate (fluticasone propionate)
This shouldn't be used long term. I've been on it for about 6 years but I don't use it everyday. I get a rash of tiny bumps all over my face that makes it's way down my neck. It itches, is very uncomfortable and unsightly. Usually when it starts I use the cream. It relieves the itching immediately and the the rash is gone within 2-3 days. It IS a must have medication for me.
This is a topical corticosteroid, which should not be used for a long time on large surface area.
Is effective, I just hate taking steroid based meds for temporary treatment, rather than curing the condition. Are there alternatives?

I started by taking 12.5mg, but got a migraine a few days in, so I upped it to 25mg. I have had 2 migraines since starting the med. I don't think it's preventing, but the migraine meds I take when I have a migraine work better, so that's a plus!
I very quickly was hit with extreme fatigue and tighness in chest. I hurt all over had nausea and a headache. I woke up today with peripheral neuropathy in my foot, dizziness and hot sweats ...I will not be continuing with this medication.

Just started calf pain when I am also taking Cefdinir.
Started working on staph infection within 24 hours and felt better each day, although the above the eye headache was very annoying however compared to most other antibiotics I have been on, this one worked great and fast
STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG AT ALL COSTS! There must be a more natural way to build bones. Will never take again.
Very effective, put off menstruation for a couple years until I was ready. Slowed me down so that my peers could catch up physically and I didn't feel like such an outcast. Note: was on medication from ages 9-11
I suffered horrible feelings of paralysis like a numbness in my face and sometimes teeth. I felt like my head was going to fall of my neck. Also experienced breathlessness and night sweats.
