Question 1

what is the difference between flonase and flonaseql?

Accepted Answer

Don't know: I couldn't even find flonaseql with google. I presume that they have the same ingredients but different delivery systems. However this is just a guess.

Question 2

what difference is there between flonase and veramyst?

Accepted Answer

The compound: Flonase is Fluticasone Propionate and Veramyst is fluticasone furoate.  They have changed the "side chain" of the steroid molecule making it potentially a more active compound.  It binds to the receptor more "tightly" and may last longer.  Thus you may have better results with Veramyst vs. Flonase.

Question 3

what is the difference between flonase and nasonex (mometasone)?

Accepted Answer

Similar..but....: Both are intranasal steroids, but Nasonex (mometasone) less drying.....

Question 4

what is the treatment for flonase overdose?

Accepted Answer

None: For all intents and purposes, there is no such thing as Flonase overdosage. Taking too much over a long period of time could produce some steroid side effects, but that would require swallowing an entire bottle of Flonase daily for a few weeks. There is no way any insurance company would allow for a refill per day, and no one could afford that on an out-of-pocket basis.

Question 5

what is the difference between flonase and nasacort (triamcinolone)? which is better for you (e.g. has fewer side effects)?

Accepted Answer

Spray: Pretty much the same. Different steroid and propellant. Works about the same. Similar side effects

Question 6

i take flonase?

Accepted Answer

Nasal symptoms /ache: May be allergies  consider Zyrtec especially with itching eyes, cold    but also may be coronavirus-F/U with MD and get tested.

Question 7

does flonase expire?

Accepted Answer

Yes: All medications have an expiration date. Typically 12 months but check to make sure. An albuterol inhaler does have a two year expiration date and other medications might vary. Check the bottle.

Question 8

can you get flonase otc?

Accepted Answer

No: Flonase is still a prescription. However Nasacort (triamcinolone) AQ is a similar medicine that is available OTC.

Question 9

is flonase safe long term?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is minimal systemic absorption, and long term nasal topical steroids are safe long term without the traditional adverse effects of oral steroids. There are minimal side effects as with any drug, so let your prescribing doctor know if you experience any.

Question 10

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.
