Question 1

is childrens mucinex (guaifenesin) okay with flonase?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can use both together.

Question 2

can i give my 6 year old children's flonase, a multi-symptom cold medicine, and tylenol?

Accepted Answer

Meds: Flonase is for treatment of allergic rhinitis not common cold.  Some multi-symptom cold medications also contain acetaminophen (active ingredient in Tylenol).  Check label of multi-symptom cold medication for acetaminophen so child you are not giving extra Tylenol.

Question 3

chronic cough in children associated with flonase allergy?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: I don't think a child would be allergic to the nasal steroid spray flonase.  There are certainly children whose cough may not respond to treatment with flonase, but the reason is most likely a mis-diagnosis rather than an allergy to it.  One needs to think about an infectious cause, asthma or possibly reflux to name a few reasons for lack of response to flonase.

Question 4

i take flonase?

Accepted Answer

Nasal symptoms /ache: May be allergies  consider Zyrtec especially with itching eyes, cold    but also may be coronavirus-F/U with MD and get tested.

Question 5

does flonase expire?

Accepted Answer

Yes: All medications have an expiration date. Typically 12 months but check to make sure. An albuterol inhaler does have a two year expiration date and other medications might vary. Check the bottle.

Question 6

can you get flonase otc?

Accepted Answer

No: Flonase is still a prescription. However Nasacort (triamcinolone) AQ is a similar medicine that is available OTC.

Question 7

is flonase safe long term?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is minimal systemic absorption, and long term nasal topical steroids are safe long term without the traditional adverse effects of oral steroids. There are minimal side effects as with any drug, so let your prescribing doctor know if you experience any.

Question 8

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.

Question 9

can you use expired flonase?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: It's probably safe to use, depending on how old it is--however, if the medication is expired, i would recommend getting a new nose spray.

Question 10

does flonase work if it is expired?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If may lose some potency when used way beyond the expiration date.
