Asthmatics With A Milk Allergy, I Need Your Help!?
Posted by: Alan in Milk Allergies, tags: Allergy, Asthmatics, Help, Milk, Need, With, Your
About three months ago I found out I am pretty ALLERGIC to milk and have had to eliminate it COMPLETELY from my diet. However, I am still breaking out in hives. I believe I have found the trigger in my asthma inhaler, Flovent (white cannister, orange holder). I looked at the patient information and sure enough it says to advise your doctor if you have an allergy to milk.
Before the milk allergy was diagnoised I reacted VERY badly to both Serentide and Pulimcort (Budosinide), again both say if you have an allergy to milk inform you doctor.
I’m wondering if anyone with a milk allergy have a problem with their Flovent/Flixotide perscription? If so what do you take instead, everything that I read says the same thing. I’m going to the doctor but would like to be a little informed when I walk into the office, please help.

Are you Lactose intolerant or allergic to milk protein?
My son is allergic to milk AND has asthma…he used the INTAL inhaler for years, but now he takes Singulair in the pill form, every day. This pill has been wonderful!
My son is allergic to Milk protein so he’s been able to use the Intal inhaler as a preventive.
If you are lactose intolerant…you will not be able to use most preventive inhalers. Ask your Doctor about the Singulair…Best of Luck!
