It's a corticosteroid that stops your body from releasing the chemicals that cause allergies. It is specific to symptoms caused by allergies, and will not relieve similar symptoms with other causes. For example, it will stop a runny nose from allergies, but not from a cold. In the past, doctors prescribed it if you had constant allergy symptoms that don't respond to over the counter (OTC) medications. Recently, though, Flonase was approved for over the counter use, and may be available at your pharmacy. Intranasal steroids (INS) like Flonase act on many inflammatory substances and help block the body from producing them while antihistamines block only the histamine release. There are two types of side effects for this medication. Because it is administered as a nasal spray, you may experience nosebleeds, headaches, sneezing, and dry or irritated nose and throat. Because it is a corticosteroid, you may experience upper respiratory infections, cataracts or glaucoma, and slower growth rate in children who use it for a prolonged time period. Less common side effects also include diarrhea and abdominal pain.  Nosebleeds are the most common side effect from using Flonase.  If you experience other side effects from the medication, such as cough, fever, headache or muscle aches, sore throat, or fatigue, see your doctor. Provide her with a complete list of other prescription and OTC medications you're taking. Include any vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you take or have recently taken. Physicians and pharmacists can review medication lists to ensure no interactions occur between medication that are taken.Some drugs (HIV drugs and antifungals, for example) may interact negatively with Flonase, so you and your doctor will need to come up with a plan to manage interactions or alter treatment. It may be as simple as changing your dosage and monitoring for side effects. Flonase may also cause unwanted side effects if you have or previously had certain medical conditions. If you have a compromised immune system, use of a corticosteroid could lower the body's ability to fight infection. Provide the doctor with a detailed medical history. Make sure to note any of the following conditions known to interact poorly with Flonase:  Cataracts (clouding in the lens of your eye) Glaucoma (an eye fluid-pressure disease) Current nose sores Any type of untreated infection Herpes infection in the eye Recent nose surgery or injury Previous diagnosis of tuberculosis (a type of infection) in your lungs Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant. If you become pregnant while using fluticasone, call your doctor immediately.
