I have severe dry eyes from sjogrens i also have allergies i find zyrtec (cetirizine) way to drying. does flonase have the same drying effect as other allergy meds?

No: It is a corticosteroid and it will help the allergies as it is antiinflammatory. It does not drying like the antihistamines. You can discuss this with your physician.

My allergies are unbearable today.. I take Zyrtec and Flonase daily and they did nothing. I took Allegra too with no relief, can I also take Claritin (loratadine)?
I have been having allergies really bad this week. I have been taking Zyrtec and Mucinex D since last Sunday. Friday I added generic Flonase. I have not had any fever at all. Yesterday afternoon I noticed a loss of smell. I know there are reports of others saying theyve lost smell and taste while on Flonase. I also know that is a symptom of COVID. From what Ive read and heard, if this was COVID Id feel a lot worse and have fever. What are your thoughts? Loss of smell?
