A member asked:

I use flonase nose spray for allergies but it makes my symptoms worse can anyone tell me why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Flonase contains alcohol and a rosewater smell which may be irritating to some. Also if the spray is used improperly it can be irritating to the septum and nasal mucosa. Also some people are steroid resistant, making the drug innefective.
