Flonase (fluticasone) is a synthetic steroid of the glucocorticoid family of drugs and is prescribed for the control of symptoms of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis. Flonase is available as a generic drug, and dosing is usually administered as two sprays in each nostril once daily, or one spray in each nostril twice daily. The most common side effects of Flonase are headache, throat infection, nasal irritation, sneezing, cough, nausea, vomiting, and nosebleeds. Flonase has been associated with hypersensitivity reactions (for example, skin rash, itching, facial swelling, and anaphylaxis).
Drug interactions and warnings include Norvir (ritonavir) and Nizoral (ketoconazole). Taking either one of these drugs with Flonase may increase the blood concentrations of Flonase and potentially increase its side effects. Flonase should only be used during pregnancy when it is absolutely necessary. There have not been adequate studies of Flonase and concentrations in breast milk; therefore, Flonase should be avoided while breastfeeding unless it is absolutely necessary.
