A member asked:
How long does it take for side effects from fluticasone to subside after u discontinue use. i have used it a month or so and experience ear congestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects: If this is strictly a side effect of the medication, I would hope that as the medication comes out of your system, the effects will go away as well. The half life of the medication is 11-12hrs. So five half lifes before it is more or less out of your system, so roughly 60 hours, I would say fluticasone is out of your system. If there is some suppression on the adrenal axis, this may take more time
