Table of contents:

Flonase Nasal Spray generically known as Fluticasone is a medication indicated for nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes caused by seasonal or year-round allergies. Fluticasone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works by suppressing the immune system's response to irritants like pollen and dust mites, thus making it easier for people with respiratory problems to breathe more comfortably.

Although nasal sprays are usually used to treat allergies, they can also be beneficial in addressing sinus infections. Corticosteroids, such as Flonase, have anti-inflammatory properties which make them useful in treating sinus infections. Sinus infections cause nasal congestion, swelling and inflammation, and Flonase can reduce these symptoms and help clear blockages in the nasal passages.

Uses and Dosage

Fluticasone comes in the form of a nasal spray that is used to treat various conditions, including allergies and asthma. Never spray the medication directly into your eyes, and to gently blow your nose before using the spray. You should also shake the container gently before each use, and if you are using it for the first time or if you have not used it for a week or longer, you should follow the instructions on how to properly prime the bottle.
