Question 1

are there known interactions with testosterone cypionate and omnaris or flonase?

Accepted Answer

No: No significant interactions between them.

Question 2

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 3

please describe the medication: flonase?

Accepted Answer

Nasal steroid. : Flonase is the brand name of a nasal steroid spray used for allergic rhinitis.

Question 4

does flixonase has flonase?

Accepted Answer

Flonase: The chemical is fluticasone propionate, if it is present in flixonase, it is the same

Question 5

flonase helps  to descongest my sinus?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Flonase can help decongest your sinus.

Question 6

can i use saline hours after using flonase?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can use saline in a sinus rinse after using the Flonase but I would wait for at least on hour.  If you are just using the sinus spray like wetting drops this should not be a problem either.

Question 7

are there any side effects of taking flonase?

Accepted Answer

Local issues: Biggest side effect is nasal inflammation and bleeding. To minimize this, when you put the sprayer in your nose angle the tip to the outside corner of your eye. This will direct the spray away from your septum and decrease irritation.

Question 8

what will happen if i have a flonase overdose?

Accepted Answer

Depends: How big an overdose?  If its just a few extra sprays a few times, likely nothing will happen.  If it is many sprays a day over months or years, you run the low risk of systemic absorption and typical steroid side effects.  This can include secondary infection, weight gain, cataracts, liver changes, osteoporosis etc.  This would be rare and require a massive overdose.

Question 9

what are some alternatives to flonase/flixonase?

Accepted Answer

Many: Flonase is a nasal steroid spray used to treat allergic rhinitis.  It will be going non-prescription this spring.  The alternatives include over the counter Nasacort Allergy 24HR or prescription Rhinocort, Veramyst, Qnasl, Zetonna, Omnaris or Nasonex (mometasone).

Question 10

how long is it safe to use flonase ? once a day?

Accepted Answer

Long time: Flonase can be safely used if applied correctly and used within the recommended dose.  Although a WHO report suggested that this could be linked to a slightly higher incidence of glaucoma, this is not the usual experience.
