Will taking a flixotide inhaler significantly affect a mantoux test?
I'm having a mantoux test for tuberculosis on Wednesday and I'm a little concerned about taking my flixotide inhaler which contains 250 ug of fluticasone propionate.
The test works by observing an immune response and flitocasone is a corticosteroid which suppresses immune response.
Should I maybe not take it this week? (I'm not going to die of an asthma attack if I skip a few doses). Anyone know if there are rules on this?

Call ahead if you can and ask them. They can tell you what you need to do.
