An allergy occurs when your body’s immune system creates antibodies to a foreign substance causing a reaction that can be mild to severe.  For potential adverse effects see:   http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-3883/nasarel-nasal/details

Question 6

can flunisolide raise your blood sugar?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: I was not able to find any research studies that have addressed this question, so the answer is unknown. If you are a diabetic, you would have to try the Flunisolide and see if it affected your readings on your glucose meter. If you are not diabetic and do not measure your blood sugar, there is no way to know.

Question 7

which non- prescription inhaler would be the best alternative to flunisolide?

Accepted Answer

Flunisolide: There are no over the counter or non-prescription steroid inhalers on the market.

Question 8

dx w/ chronic sinusitis. dr says try zyrtec (cetirizine) & flunisolide 2 wks minimum & wait on allergy tests. f/u appt in may. meds not helping after 5 days.

Accepted Answer

Call doc again: If you have sinusitis which has not responded to flunisolide after 5 days, you likely need an antibiotic now. I don't see how the finding from allergy test would alter your current treatment (for long term , likely yes). In the meanwhile try saline irrigation on the sinuses.

Question 9

can nasarel nasal spray cause sinus problems?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: I previously answered this question but i did not address the question of sinusitis.  If the over the counter nasal spray is used too long, it is possible that the small openings to the paranasal sinuses could be eventually obstructed and lead to a rhino-sinusitis.  Again, let an ENT doctor or allergist manage your nasal problems.

Question 10

i'm wondering can thera flu nightime severe cold be taken at night if  i took nasarel allery nasal spray in the am?

Accepted Answer

Yes: They can even be taken at the same time because nasal steroids are vastly different than the ingredients in the other medication.
