Question 1

i currently use flonase and it does not last more than a couple of hours. i want to try some other meds including nasacort. do i have to wait any specific amount of time to try ?

Accepted Answer

No need to wait but.: I would increase the flonase to 2 sprays twice a day, look at your allergen exposure like dust mites or animals or pollens and see if you can change. If you want to change to Nasacort, no need to wait. Good wishes.

Question 2

nasacort side-effects risk seems to be less severe than flonase, however nasacort systemic availability is listed as much higher than that of flonase?

Accepted Answer

Nasal steroids: The amount of steroid which absorbs systemically is negligible.

Question 3

can i take allegra with flonase or nasacort?

Accepted Answer

Yes: yes, no problem.

Question 4

nasacort (triamcinolone) or flonase: which is better and has less severe side effects?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: It is difficult to answer since I am unfamiliar with your medical history. I recommend seeing a doctor who knows your medical history so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.

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

can i use my flonase / nasacort (triamcinolone) with tamiflu ?

Accepted Answer

Yes but: Use either Flonase or nasacort (triamcinolone) and don't expect them to help your nasal congestion if you have the flu.

Question 7

which is better for nasal allergies: nasacort (triamcinolone) or flonase?

Accepted Answer

Equal: When it comes to nasal steroid sprays they are all effective and it typically becomes a "patient preference."  Flonase smells like flowers and requires a doctors prescription (until spring 2015 when it goes over the counter).  Nasacort (triamcinolone) is tasteless and odorless and has been available without a prescription since spring 2014.

Question 8

which is more effective for turbinate hypertrophy (nasonex, nasacort, flonase or xhance)?

Accepted Answer

: They are all eq helpful. Good Luck

Question 9

i have been using nasacort and then flonase for 3 years now. ok to stop suddenly? is adrenal insufficiency  a concern?

Accepted Answer

Very little: Only small amounts reach the circulation

Question 10

i have tried just about everything for constant post nasal drip. i was taking nasacort (triamcinolone) for a while until i felt it wasn't helping. would flonase work?

Accepted Answer

See an ENT doctor: You probably have chronic sinusitis as well, nasal sprays alone might not help, see an ENT specialist or an Allergist, if have one in your area, goodluck
