Steroids: For the most part, all the topical steroids will work similarly.  Where they differ, however, would be in their side effect profile.  One may be better for you in this respect.

Question 3

what's better than flonase?

Accepted Answer

All about the same: All of the topical steroids have about equal efficacy (activity) and safety.  I do not think changing from Flonase to another topical steroid will significantly change your nasal function.  Remember, these drugs are specifically used for allergic and non-allergic rhinitis.  Check with an allergist.  Finally, although these topical steroids are about the same, some people do prefer a particular one.
