Flonase
Question:
Has anyone had positive results with Flonase?
Response:
I have had very good results in stopping the big, hard, dried blood from having to be blown out or spit up. I still have other problems though. Gwen
Response:
It really didn’t help me at all, but it did give me a constant headache, one of the published side effects. I think it reacts differently for different people, and the only way to know for sure is to give it a try. –Bob "F. Boog" <fb…@telus.net> wrote in message

Josh I had SOM(serrous otitis media)in conjunction with a severe sinus infection thi winter.It lasted 3 months and when it started to clear it took about 10 days.It is very important your doctor determines the reason for it especially if you have no other symptoms with it.Flonase is a topical medication and is for inflamation of mucus membranes but I don,t believe you are treating the SOM rather the inflamation in the nose that may or may not be causing it.I also tried Allegra D without any improvement.I believe nasal irrigation with a waterpik and Grossan tip is what helped me.

I prefer nasonex but it’s different for all people. You really just have to try it first for a while to know what works best for you.

I’ve heard that the use of Flonase and similar meds can increase the potential for sinus infections. Is that actually true? I’m especially interested because I’ve been on Flonase for a few days now and my typically-minor-but-chronic sinus infection seems to have worsened by a large degree. Today was pretty nasty and I’m wondering if five days worth of Flonase had reduced my nasal immune response enough to allow the infection to gain strength. Is that a possibility or is it more likely coincidence? Thanks, John

I am not sure about sinus infections, but I have found that when I start using flonase after I have gone some time without a nasal steriod, My nose usually gets worse before it gets better. It almost takes 2 full weeks of REGULAR use to acheive maximum potential.

I much prefer Nasonex. For me, Flonase has a bad smell and gives a large "flow" of mucus. Maybe that is why it is called "Flonase"?

Never having had anything but Flonase, I’m interested in your experience, Don. Do you mean it causes post nasal drip or a lot of nasal discharge or both? If so, I’d be interested in switching to Nasonex myself because I do have these problems but didn’t know it was a result of the Flonase.

Well thanks for all the great input folks…and for mentioning Nasonex which I had forgotten about.

I agree. I prefer nasonex too. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->For me, Flonase has a bad smell and gives a large "flow" of mucus. Maybe that >is why it is called "Flonase"?
Response:
Have heard somewhere that the continued use of Flonase can cause cataracts. Does anyone out there know more in detail about this? Thanks.
Response:
Has anyone heard that the continued use of the steroid Flonase, has contributed to getting cataracts? I don’t know where this report is coming from and what study was done. Thanks.
Response:
Theoretically, heavy use of steroids over time may lead to cataracts. it’s unlikely that the use of a nasal inhaler, in the recommended dose, would lead to such a side-effect. We see it commonly in asthmatics who are treated with oral prednisone for years…
Response:
My 17-year-old daughter uses Flonase once a day. I’m very interested in the answer to this question. Thanks.
