Accepted Answer

Probably: if used erratically, shouldn't be directed towards the nasal septum (towards the midline) and better wash your nose with saline prior to use

Question 2

should i stop using flonase if it makes my nose bleed? would rhinocort be a better option?

: First thing to do when not sure if adverse reaction/response  is due to medication/s is to Stop it/them. Then go back to see the treating Doctor and review problems with him/her. The sooner, the better.

Question 7

is flonase working even if i must blow my nose after taking it?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: Intransal steroids such as Flonase are highly lipid soluble and have good tissue binding. That means the drug is delivered to the target cells quickly and efficiently. It is always a good idea to blow your nose before you administer the drug to maximize contact between the medication and the nose. Take your medication on a regular basis, even if you feel well. Flonase works best over time.

when my nose is clogged and i take flonase it only cleans out one nose and they other is still clogged the side changes though with each use?

Accepted Answer

Right dosage/usage: the way you use the fluticasone spray and the dose affect the delivery of medicine to the nasal passages, also cleaning your nose and irrigating it well with saline wash prior to using the medicine is important, if all those maneuvers don't work please get evaluated by an allergist/ENT specialist, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area,

Question 9

Accepted Answer

: Flonase is to reduce inflammation of the nasal mucosa that could happen with allergic rhinitis. It could cause dryness along with the fact that the air is also dry in winter. You may benefit from using humidifier regardless of the use of flonase in winter wheather.
