Is it safe to alternate mometasone and fluticasone intranasal sprays?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but why?: They are nearly identical in effectiveness except that fluticasone has a rose water odor which is not tolerated by a few. If you want to use up your nasal steroid , that's fine but there is otherwise no reason to alternate them.
