Question 1

is avamys nasal spray effective to use for post nasal drip?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Yes, if allergies are triggering the post nasal drip.  No if gastroesophageal reflux is triggering the post nasal drip.

Question 2

does fluticasone nasal spray help with post nasal   drip from allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Fluticasone is a topical nasal steroid spray approved for treating seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis.  It can reduce all the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and nasal steroid sprays are the most effective class of treatment.

Question 3

i have tried fluticasone and mometasone furoate nasal spray for 2-3 months many times. but no relief at all in my post nasal drip. whereas antihistamine like cetrizine/loratadine relieves symptoms immediately in a day or so. why my body is like that?

Accepted Answer

Why? : Everyone is different.  Go to uptodate.com and read about steroid and antihistamines for post nasal drip etc. then discuss with your team. The body is complex and every one is different. Mostly because our genes are different.

Question 4

i don't get any relief from fluticasone sprays in post nasal drip (oral antihistamines work) which means i am steroid non responder. does it also mean i will be non responsive to oral steroids like prednisolone if ever taken for any medicalcondition?

Accepted Answer

: No. The minimal or lack of response in your nasal membranes does not indicate how your other tissues will respond. These meds are created to mimic natural steroids made by the human body as a stress response/membrane stabilizer. Over the past 5 decades of product development they have become a standard form of therapy because they work.

Question 5

hi, i just started buproprion about a week ago for depression and started fluticasone propionate nasal spray last night to get rid of post nasal drip. today i feel like there is a pressure on the right side of my back behind the rib cage, is there anythin

Accepted Answer

Not expected: I don't believe the back problem is related to either medication.

Question 6

i have been dealin with post nasal drip 4 about 2 years.drs have given me sinus sprays,acid meds,allegy stuff.nothing works now i got script 4 glycopypyrrolate 2 treat ulcers why? have no ulcers ever!

Accepted Answer

Running nose: Robinul (glycopyrolate) is used to slow secretions and seems to work well in patients with excessive secretions.  I use it a lot in post surgical head and neck cancer patients.  Have you tried Atrovent nasal?  I have a lot of luck with it you need to use it 4 times a day.  2 sprays each nostril.  Try it, it works.  Good luck.

Question 7

can you tell me about post nasal drip and azelastine and fluticasone?

Accepted Answer

See Below: Post nasal drip is most often caused by allergies, although there is a syndrome called non-allergic rhinitis that can sometimes cause it.  Flonase treats allergic inflammation which will reduce stuffiness and drainage.  Azelastine will treat drainage, sneezing, itching, and it treats the non-allergic rhinitis if it's there as well.

Question 8

is azelastine and fluticasone effective for post nasal drip?

Accepted Answer

One or the other: Depending on the cause of post nasal drip, either azelastine or fluticasone can be beneficial for allergic or non-allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis. All can cause post nasal drip, as can a cold. Saline nasal spray or rinses are also beneficial to improve post nasal drip.

Question 9

coughing due to sinuses for a month.got antihistamines and avamys, worked for two weeks but im coughing again to day. im a smoker. sinusitis. post-nasal drip. all diagnosed. dont know whats wrong

Accepted Answer

Stop smoking: The obvious step is quitting smoking which is a common cause for chronic bronchitis (emphysema as well). The next issue is whether you need an antibiotic for your sinusitis which can cause your cough.
