Why is Flonase prescribed?

Fluticasone propionate (Flonase) nasal spray is prescribed for the treatment of symptoms caused by seasonal allergies or other upper respiratory allergies. These symptoms include nasal congestion, sneezing, nose itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

What does it do?

Allergies are caused when you are exposed to allergens in the environment. Allergens are substances that cause an allergic reaction such as pollen, dust mites, or animal fur. Flonase belongs to a drug class called corticosteroids and it works by inhibiting the release of cells and substances that cause inflammation and allergy symptoms in the body.

How should I use it?

Flonase and its generic equivalents are currently available as a 50mcg nasal spray. It should only be applied by nasal inhalation. Shake the bottle gently before using it. Avoid getting Flonase into your eyes or mouth. Do not share Flonase with anyone else.

Follow the instructions given by your doctor and the instructions that come with the medication when using Flonase. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for any concerns you may have.

The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only use this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if used properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, administer it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never administer two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before using Flonase?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history, and any allergic reactions to Flonase or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.

Avoid close contact with sick people or people with infections. Using Flonase can lower your body’s ability to fight infections. Inform your doctor immediately if you have been exposed to someone who is sick.

Flonase should not be used by children below 4 years old to prevent growth problems.
