A member asked:

Is it safe to use flonase twice a day one spray each nostril long term for eustachian tube dysfunction?

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Yes, it's safe: If it is helping and you can remember to take it twice a day, then splitting the dose twice a day should continue to work. You do not develop rebound congestion nor tolerance to this class of nasal sprays.
