Question 1

what is the correct dosage of flonase ?

Accepted Answer

1-2 puffs each side.: In kids from 4-12 typically 1 puff, each side, daily is given.  In adults you can go up to 2 puffs each side, daily, but when allergies improve, you can often taper the dose down, to one puff each side.

Question 2

i took a zyrtec and flonase this morning. would like to take muscinex fast max with antihistamine for the evening and wondering if that is ok?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: be cautious still with antihistamines overdose, i.e. stay with only one antihistamine in the following days, till the cold symptoms are over, good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications

Question 3

trying to get off mucinex sinus max, due to rebound effect. can i take flonase with it, so i can wean myself off it? if i can, do i take together at the same time of day?

Accepted Answer

: They are complementary and should not be taken at the same time. you can stop it and take Flownase

Question 4

i have a chest & nasal infection. dr gave me flonase and cheratussin ac. is it safe to take with my usual 1.5mg xanax (alprazolam) dosage? doc knows i take xanax (alprazolam)

Accepted Answer

Yes: I presume your infection is a viral one since none of your medications is an antibiotic.

Question 5

had second dose of pfizer 8 days ago can i take my flonase?

Accepted Answer

: yes, please follow your allergy plan. Avoid common allergens, smoke and use nasal saline, in addition to the Flonase, after discussing with your PCP.

Question 6

i take flonase twice a day and by accident i took a 3rd dose 30 min after my 2nd dose , will i be okay?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. I wouldn't make it a habit but this won't hurt you. It also does not increase the effect of the med by a measurable amount.

Question 7

i took a dose of flonase and singular (10 mg) this morning at 7am and then forgot and took another dose at 10pm same day. do i need to do anything about that?

Accepted Answer

No, resume schedule: Both Flonase (fluticasone) and Singulair (montelukast) have very wide margins of safety which in pharmacologic lingo  refers to the effective dose of a drug divided by its harmful or lethal dose and that number is certainly greater than 50 and probably over 100 for both. Just resume your usual schedule tomorrow.

Question 8

hey dr. , feeling "racey" after using flonase while on 30mg-10mg tapering dose, first day at 20. is this normal? been very moody too!

Accepted Answer

Steroid effect: I believe the tapering dose of steroid is what has been making you feel racey and Flonase is unlikely to be the culprit since very little of it is absorbed by the body. Steroid (Prednisone etc) especially in high doses often affects one's mood.  I would expect these issues to subside within a few days after the last dose. Do you have any idea what the treatment is for?

Question 9

hi! is it okay if i take a 1.5x dose of flonase (2 sprays at night, and 1 the following morning) the first time i am taking it?

thank you!

Accepted Answer

For a few weeks.: You will likely be ok if you are using the higher dose for just a few weeks.  For chronic use, I am not sure if there may be some systemic effect even though at the dose described it is likely ok.

Question 10

accidently took a double dose of flonase nasal spray today (8 hrs apart). is it possible to overdose on this - will i be ok?

Accepted Answer

You are ok: As long as you are not doing this on a regular basis, the extra dose today will not cause you problems. Be careful and take care.
