Get nasal Fluticasone (Flonase) online prescriptions for allergies

Fluticasone (nasal route) is a corticosteroid spray used to treat symptoms of allergies (hay fever). Prescription-strength fluticasone treats sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, or itching caused by non-allergic rhinitis. It also helps reduce these symptoms in patients managing chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Some strengths of fluticasone are available over the counter, meaning they can be purchased without a prescription. Other strengths, or specific formulations containing fluticasone, require a written prescription from a licensed health care provider. Fluticasone is available in generic form and under various brand names like Flonase and Dymista.

Fluticasone reduces rhinitis symptoms caused by seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis or “hay fever”). When administered as a nasal spray, fluticasone reduces symptoms like runny and stuffy noses, sneezing, and itchy and watery eyes.

Allergies happen when your body thinks that harmless substances, like pet dander or ragweed, are actually pathogens that could make you sick. When this happens, your body prompts an immune response, which causes symptoms like itchy eyes, an itchy or runny nose, and a scratchy throat that make allergic reactions troublesome.

Seasonal allergy symptoms can include allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, sinus pressure or pain, nasal congestion) and swollen or red, itchy eyes. There is no cure for allergies, but a treatment plan can manage the symptoms listed above.

Fluticasone is also used to treat the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with nasal polyps. Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a long-term inflammation of the nasal passages and sinuses marked by soft, noncancerous growths (nasal polyps) in the nasal and sinus cavities. This condition can lead to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including:

• Persistent nasal congestion
  
• Decreased sense of smell and taste
  
• Facial pressure or pain
  
• Runny or postnasal drip
  
• Frequent sinus infections
  
• Headaches
  
• Snoring or sleep disturbances
  
• Coughing
  
• Fatigue
  
  

CRSwNP often requires long-term management, including medication and, in some cases, surgical intervention, to alleviate symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life.

While prescription-strength fluticasone will not cure CRSwNP, it can help reduce the frustrating and uncomfortable symptoms associated with the condition.

Fluticasone is classified as a corticosteroid medication. These drugs prevent specific lung and breathing passage cells from releasing substances that can cause inflammation and swelling in the airways.

By reducing inflammation in the nasal passages, fluticasone helps alleviate the symptoms associated with an allergic response, such as sneezing, stuffiness, or itching.

Corticosteroid nasal sprays effectively reduce symptoms caused by Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP) by addressing the underlying inflammation within the nasal and sinus passages. These sprays inhibit the immune response, decreasing the production of inflammatory molecules in the nasal lining. This action helps shrink and prevent the growth of nasal polyps, reduce nasal congestion, alleviate facial pressure, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals with CRSwNP.

While fluticasone will not cure allergies or CRSwNP, it can help improve quality of life by reducing symptoms.

Fluticasone has been shown to cause mild side effects. Talk to a health care provider if these adverse reactions become severe or do not go away after a few days.

Fluticasone, when used to treat rhinitis symptoms, is commonly supplied as a nasal spray. The recommended dosage will vary depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s age. Generally, adults should apply one spray to each nostril twice daily. Children should apply one spray to each nostril once daily. Talk to your health care provider about the proper dosage for you.

When using fluticasone nasal spray:

• Shake the bottle gently before each use

Do not discontinue or increase your fluticasone dosage without consulting your doctor first. Take the medication exactly as prescribed, and inform your doctor if you begin to experience any side effects while taking the medication.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it’s nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your regularly scheduled amount. Do not take a double dose of fluticasone.
