Question 1

can i spray fluticasone 2x a day? my doc said it is ok on allergy seasons but i am aftaid of nosebleeds.

Accepted Answer

Yes 2 times is fine: Yes you can spray fluticasone nasal spray (Flonase) two times a day. The maximum dose for allergic rhinitis is actually 2 sprays per nostril once a day OR 1 spray per nostril twice a day. When you spray into your nose, spray away from the center of your nose. You should be fine! If you are concerned, try spraying 1 time in each nostril once a day and inhale through your nose gently.

Question 2

the fluticasone spray is for allergy. is there certain time i should use it, such as breakfast, or lunch, or etc...?

Accepted Answer

Dose time: The main thing is consistent use.  It takes 2-3 days to get the full dose built up in the membranes. Since the spray is only done once daily, just make sure the dose is taken around the same time daily therefore spacing each dose around 24 hrs.  Remember-- the exact time isnt a big deal with this med.  Consistent daily use is what is important !

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes: Loratidine and fluticasone nasal spray are effective when used together.  If this is not effective, adding an intranasal antihistamine (rx), such as azelastine (astelin) or olpatadine (patanase) is an option. Dymista is a combination of fluticasone and azelastine and works quickly. None of these products should adversely affect asthma or your current medications.
