Hello,
Fluticasone has a faster and stronger effect in reducing airway inflammation than oral prednisone.
The side effects of Fluticasone are more minimal than prednisone.
Some of the common side effects are sore throat, sneezing, cough, nausea, vomiting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
