Drug Uses
Flonase can relieve multiple nasal symptoms of congestion, sneezing, and
itchy, runny nose. Flonase Nasal Spray is for topical administration to the
nasal mucosa by means of a metering, atomizing spray pump.
How Taken
To get the best results with Flonase, you should use it regularly, as prescribed
by your doctor, since its effectiveness depends on regular use. Because Flonase
helps relieve inflammation, once you begin treatment you should use it once
a day, every day as directed by your healthcare professional. The recommended
starting dosage in adults is 2 sprays (50 mcg of Flonase Nasal Spray propionate)
in each nostril once daily (total daily dose is 200 mcg). The same dosage
divided into 100 mcg given twice daily (e.g., 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.) is also
effective. After the first few days, patients may be able to reduce their
dosage to 100 mcg (1 spray in each nostril) once daily for maintenance therapy.
Some patients (12 years of age and older) with seasonal allergic rhinitis
may find as-needed use of 200 mcg once daily effective for symptom control.
Greater symptom control may be achieved with scheduled regular use.
