A member asked:
Can i take afrin (oxymetazoline) and flonase together?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes but: you can take together but afrin (oxymetazoline) is addicting with rebound congestion and Flonase is used to help you get off afrin (oxymetazoline) so continue Flonase and taper off afrin (oxymetazoline)

Perhaps: Afrin contains oxymetazoline which can improve nasal congestion when used for short periods of time. Use for more than 3 days can increase risk of rebound congestion and development of a condition called Rhinits Medicamentosa. (RM) Use with a topical steroid nasal spray may ( like flute adobe) help to prevent it. You should always minimize use of decongestants because of other possible effects.

Currently dealing with Afrin rebound. Started taking Flonase with it too, (read this is okay?) to help me wean off the Afrin. Approximately how long does it take, to receive the full effectiveness of the Flonase?
