Is there a difference between Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray (generic Flonase) from Flonase?
Q. I read that GlaxoSmithKline said that it wasn't put to FDA standards? I believe it to be the same but am wondering if anyone else had any implications from either?

Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray question?
Q. Hello! Could someone tell me please if anyone uses or knows how what is the treatment course from the allergic rhinitis using Fluticasone Propionate. Says 2 sprays in each nostril daily, but for how long? Thank you!
Asked by andrey_from_pa - Wed Aug 13 11:37:26 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There is no treatment course with Fluticasone Nasal Spray.It only provides symptomatic relief,it does not cure allergic rhinitis.Some people get the problem during a particular season only while others need it round the year.Dose varies as per the need.Some require 2 sprays in each nostril once a day,while others require 1 spray in each nostril twice a day.Take the dose as per your doctor's advise.When taken for the first time the results may appear after 12 hours.It may take a few days before you start getting full results.iFyou notice any side effects,report to your doctor immediately.It's a topically absorbed corticosteroid and has minimal absorption in the system.Hope this information helps.

A. If those are the medication you take I would assume you have treatment-resistant schizophrenia, major depressive disorder (potentially with suicidal ideation), and allergies. You could have another problem like bipolar and without knowing it is hard to "think" anything of your medications. It is a lot of medications and Abilify and Clozapine are both similar drugs but I can see how both would be helpful.

A. I am assuming you are using a nasal spray. ( There are inhalers available as well). As stated below sore throat is a minor side effect of fluticasone. However if it is bothering you see your doctor and perhaps get your inhaler or nasal spray changed. Fluticasone nasal side effects Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects: severe or ongoing nose bleed; sores in the nose that won't heal; vision problems; or fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms. Less serious side effects may include: headache, back pain; minor nose bleed; sinus pain, cough, sore… [cont.]

Why would a doctor prescribe allergy meds for a sinus infection?
Q. Wouldn't they suppress the ability of the immune system to fight the infection just a bit? The meds are zyrtec and fluticasone propionate nasal spray. Lawrence, all of that sounds fine, except I told her I do have rather dark brown mucous. I had a window done a few years back, so I doubt there is a blockage. She also gave me a prescription for a Z-Pak (zithromax?) and told me to fill it if my temperature goes up over 100.5 or 101.

A. These drugs are antihistamines and steroids, used to help with the symptoms that you are experiencing with a sinus infection. They will help decrease the inflammation and will aid in the drainage of your sinuses. Antibiotic resistance is becoming more and more of a problem, so try these medications first and if they don't help, then turn to an antibiotic.

I need help answering a question about a particular nasal spray?
Q. I have fluticasone proprionate for sinus problems. What happens if in the middle of day your nose gets plugged up or stuffy, and you blow your nose real hard. Doesn't that mean you blow out the medicine that you spray into your nostrils? I was frustrated because I used a nasal spray that I probably blew out, when blowing my nose. Can I can spray twice again? Please someone answer this question?

A. If you take your medication early in the day, then blow your nose in the middle of the day, you will not blow out your medication. It absorbs into your system in a couple of hours of administration.

A. don't mess with asthma! Trying a bunch of natural nonsense drugs may get him into a life and death situation. Look at your house, see what is causing his problems, smoking, paint fumes, animal dander, dust etc. eliminate it from your environment and pray for him to outgrow it. a number of kids do. As for the weight, you caused it by overfeeding him, you have to take steps to help him eat healthy foods. Keep him away from jusk food, no soda, no cookies , no crackers...teach him to eat good food and he will lost the weight.

fluticasone (flovent )and low immunoglobulins?
Q. Hi, I take fluticasone 133mcg for asthma. I've been sickly pretty much all my life and after some 10 years of blood tests showing nothing, my doc tested me for celiac. My igA was below normal levels so she tested the igG and igM and they were all well below normal. My CBC was normal; only the antibodies. I'm scheduled for more tests to try and pin down why I'm deficient (HIV negative, btw)... Is it at all possible that flovent, being a corticosteroid, has any affect on igA, igG, igM?? I'm not taking any other meds except lamictal. I will definitely mention it to the doc, although she'll have probably considered this.

Asked by mhmm. - Tue Nov 17 19:26:08 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Fluticasone propionate will help your mucus if it is draining from your nasal passages into your throat (post nasal drip caused by chronically inflamed sinuses), but it won't help at all if the mucus is in your lungs. You can try taking a steamy shower to help hydrate your mucus so it is thinner and easier to cough up. You should also drink plenty of fluids to help thin it out. If you have a fever as well as headache and cough, you may be coming down with a flu virus. Get some rest and take good care of yourself! Hope you feel better soon.

A. Every medication has side effects. The trick is to work with your doctor to determine whether or not the side effects are worth the good the medication will do you. You also have to keep in mind that no one person will ever have to deal with all the possible side effects of a medication. Personally, I would go with what your doctor recommends. He's the expert. In controlled US studies, more than 3,300 patients with seasonal allergic, perennial allergic, or perennial nonallergic rhinitis received treatment with intranasal fluticasone propionate. In general, adverse reactions in clinical studies have been primarily associated with irritation of the nasal mucous membranes, and the adverse reactions were reported with approximately the same… [cont.]

A. Many medications are good long after there expiration date and some aren't. Some can be dangerous to take after they have expired. The best thing to do is to call your pharmacist he's the expert. I hope you feel better soon! Do you know that steam really helps drain your sinuses. You can bring a pot of water to the boiling point just when it starts to steam and put a towel over your head and around your face and inhale the steam for ten minutes. You can do this three times a day along with your medication. It does speed up your recovery and help with the pain.

A. Try nasal irrigation. You can get a Neti pot at the drug store or a little plastic bottle called SinuMed that comes with packets of saline. I have severe sinusitis and allergies and have suffered with this for about seven years now. It got to the point that I had chronic sinus headaches and could hardly ever breathe out of either nostril. I had a major sinus surgery last year, the positive results of which last for only three months before I was right back to suffering again. As a last ditch attempt to get me off of constant steroids and antibiotics, my ENT recommended that I try nasal irrigation and gave me the SinuMed bottle. I have had much better relief from daily nasal irrigation than I have ever gotten with any of the drugs… [cont.]

Can I treat Psoriasis with Flonase?
Q. I have been treated in the past for my psoriasis with fluticasone propionate cream (the same active ingredient as Flonase spray). I currently have an active prescription for Flonase nasal spray, but I would have to spend a ton of money to go to my dermatologist just to get a prescription for the one thing I know works for me.

A. According to what I checked on this drug interaction site, you can also take Excedrin (which is acetaminophen and caffeine). Since information on the net is not 100% accurate, you can call a pharmacy and check. You don't need to talk to your doctor, just a pharmacist. P.S. Reading the other answers: Excedrin does have acetaminophen, which is a fever reducer, and they make some without aspirin. Just don't buy the Excedrin *Migraine* one, or just get Tylenol. I didn't check for interactions with ibuprophen, you can do that yourself at the link I posted above.
