Love it I love flonase. It works great! My nose has been clear for two summers. and now that it went generic…its really cost effective.

Very useful when you need a bit more relief I’ve used this off and on since 2003 for severe allergic rhinitis. I don’t like using it because it causes a really bad sore throat, a bad stomach ache, and I can’t stand the rose scent (makes a lot of sense to give something used to treat allergies the smell of flowers). That said, when I get really bad (mold count is really high), I have to use this spray. I use Mucinex and Zyrtec-D every day – these are normally more than sufficient in preventing migraines from congestion as well as serious dizziness from fluid build-up in my ears. However, the weather has been so odd this year (very mild and wet) that I’m having too many migraine episodes and too many episodes of the spins. As a result, I’ve had to again use Flonase. The good news is that within 4 doses (2 days), the fluid was gone from my ear, the spinning had stopped and the migraine was manageable. The bad news is that it caused the fluid to rush into my stomach causing a lot of nausea. My STRONG suggestion is to make sure you have a full stomach before using this. Since each person may react differently, it’s best not to allow your stomach to get completely empty as you never know when a post-nasal drip will speed up (your sinus passages expand from the steroid in Flonase). There’s a tradeoff – I’ve had a stomach ache since I began using it several days ago but, I’ve also been able to get out of bed, walk a straight line, and take MUCH less Zomig (for migraines). One other suggestion – use a saline spray to prevent nose bleeds (which are somewhat common with use of Flonase).

Itches. Flonase is alright. I prefered Zyrtec. I found that the spray was very itchy and made me sneeze more.

Benefits: I have had a cough for 15 years I related to allergies, plus post nasal drip that kept me up at night coughing. Had sinus infections every year and then twice a year, went to dr and would be on antibiotics for 10 days or so and get better. Well I finally went to a specialist and all the previous years I thought I was better, I was not. My sinus were so infected he said I had a chronic sinus infection which was probably 4 years old. He treated me for months with antibiotics and still could not clear up infection. Sent me to Ear, nose , throat dr. and he wanted to do surgery right away. That was 2 months ago. After using the Flonase in combination with singular I have not had any problems. Post nasal drip gone!!! which is a huge blessing. Wish I had this nasal spray 10 years ago.

Side Effects: When I was using 2 sprays each morning I did have nose bleeds. Since I reduced it to one spray each side no more bleeds.

Comments: I use every morning at the same time along with the Singular.

Benefits: This drug reduced inflammation in the nasal passages, successfully treated hay-fever type symptoms, and also helped with hoarseness probably due to the fact that it cleared up post nasal drip. I like to sing and I found I could sing longer without getting hoarse.

Side Effects: I experienced no side effects, but I was careful not to use this drug continuously over a long period of time, just in case. Generally I would start using it when symptoms were bad, stay on it for 2 to 3 weeks, then ease off.

Comments: 2 sprays in each nostril once per day. It takes about 36 hours to notice a beneficial effect. Once my allergies were cleared up I could cut the dose in half and stay allergy free.

Flonase This medication did not help me at all and I was very disappointed in it!

flonase side effects Am person with severe MCS with lots of daily headaches from odors,etc. Sinusitis a frequent problem. The headaches are killer! Tried Flonase two seperate times in past 9 yrs. Most recent test as bad as first time. Slightly lilac scent from med was not desired at all. Much sneezing followed each spray each day. Day 3 = intermttent bleeding in nose. Very dry membranes in nose with usage. All in all could not give it a fair opportunity to perform as desired due to unpleasant level of side effects. I did so want it to work for me!

Excellent I have been using flonase to combat my allergies for several years now. I know it works because on the days that I forget to use the flonase, my allergies seem to be the worst.
