A. Which body part is the cream applied? Heat produced by covering the area can increase the potency of the corticosteroid, and can also make the tissue in contact with the cream more sensitive.

Fluticasone Propionate side effects?

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.]

what is the difference between the medicines Flonase and Veramyst?

Asked by lnrosy2000 - Tue Mar 18 10:08:24 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You are right. Both of them are fluticasone. The second part of the name (propionate and furoate) just have to do with the molecular structure. They don't really affect the medicine portion of the molecule. The real acting agent is the fluticasone. It is a steroid which helps to decrease the inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages in allergic rhinitis. There is also some evidence that it helps to decrease the inflammation from swelling in the nose due to the common cold. I don't think there is much difference between them, and you use them as the same dosing as well. If I were you, I would just stick with the one that is less expensive!! Good luck! Hope that helps!

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.

My cat needs fluticasone. Can I just use albuterol? Or is it absolutely necessary to use fluticasone?
Q. I am poor, I have no job right now and my cat has very bad asthma. I took her to OSVS(ocean state veterinary specialists) last night and they gave me medications for her. One is a bronchiodialator and once I get an inhaler for my cat, I can get her on albuterol and stop the bronchiodialator pill. I am also weening her off prednisone, because of supposed fluid build up in the lungs. They gave me a prescription for the albuterol and for the fluticasone. Fluticasone, even from Canada is close to $200. I have $2.25 left in my bank account and I'm only collecting unemployment and all of my bills use up the unemployment check.

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.

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.]

Is it safe to take Adderall (amphetamine) while on Advair (fluticasone/salmeterol) + Atrovert (Ipratropium)?
Q. I have a nasty cold that has progressed to acute bronchitis. I've been on Advair and Atrovert (alone) for a few days, but will have to return to class (and my ADD medication) tomorrow. The nurse warned me that salmeterol can stress my heart (if taken too often), and I was just wondering how amphetamine on top of it might affect my heart. I don't have any pre-existing health problems besides the cold.

I went to the Dr. today and she told me that I suffer with sinuses?
Q. She prescribed me Fluticasone Propionate (Nasal Spray) for my nose, avelox for my tonsils and Claritin D. She also told me i can use an over the counter medication for sinuses.. does anyone know of any good ones.. I got the generic version of Benadryl at walmart, (it's called : Equate Maximum Strength severe allergy & Sinus headache) which has the same ingredients as benadryl..does anyone know if that works?

A. Yes, it works as well as Benadryl. I believe your doctor meant you have sinus problems due to allergies and the medications you were prescribed will help you a lot, especially at night. Right now, the allergy season is high. We have green stuff on all of our cars from the pine trees. You should follow the instructions given by the doctor. The Benadryl will make you a little drowsy and I like to take it at night because of this. The Claritin will be great. Just make sure you don't get an infection (sinusitis) because that will require antibiotics. It can be very painful. The medication you were given will prevent you from getting this, If you begin to feel a little feverish or have a hard time blowing your nose, you may be developing… [cont.]

Has anyone had similar side effects from Advair?
Q. After 2 years it started making me dizzy/lightheaded and extremely sleepy every morning and causing an odd sensation (kind of numb) in my limbs (especially arms). Blood tests showed nothing. When I went off Advair it went away. Took it again, everything came back. I think it's related to the steroidal component (fluticasone propionate aka Flonase, Flovent) because I've had other problems with it before when taking it separately. Unfortunately the drug company doesn't list these side effects, but I think they should have to if there are more of us. To clarify, this is VERY different from that buzzy feeling you get from bronchodilators. It's kind of the opposite.

A. Strange that your symptoms didn't start until after 2 years of taking the medication. Have you recently started taking another medication? Perhaps there's a negative drug interaction going on. I've been taking Advair for about a year now, and sometimes I feel that I'm just sucking in air and that it's not having any effect on me. I think you're right about the steroid component being the culprit however because I had similar symptoms when I used to use Flo-vent. It even made caused slight heart palpitations. Allergies stink!
