"This product caused facial skin to peel and a red condition around the nostrils and eyebrows. My Dermatologist originally diagnosed this skin problem as a fungal condition. He was not aware I am taking fluticacasone propionate. Read the side effects."

"Well... Flonase is certainly very effective, but you risk getting cataracts or glaucoma if you use it regularly for years. I had been congested my whole life until I started using Flonase. Nothing else had ever worked. Using Flonase, I finally didn’t feel worn out and tired from struggling to breathe all of the time. It was really great. Unfortunately, after five years I have developed cataracts. Research this- you’ll find that nasal steroid sprays are associated with cataracts and glaucoma. So I’m back to square one: nothing works very well, and now I have cataracts to boot."

"My GP prescribed this about a month ago. It does not work!!! To boot when I was researching it I skipped over Section 2 re Children and Adolescents as I thought it did not apply to me. However, now I have the beginning of a small cataract and see that it mentions blurred vision, etc. under this Children Section Now I am waiting for an appointment at the eye hospital and am worried stiff. Pity I could not score zero."

"I've been suffering from seasonal allergies for about 42 years now and this is the only product that really works for me. Up until a few years ago I thought antihistamine tablets, taken early in the morning where the only way to go but after trying this, it is clear that this is far a superior drug."

Flonase (fluticasone) "I have ETD since my first septoplasty. Doctors have been pushing corticosteroids to treat this condition. I, for one, do not care for steroids at all. My biggest concern is the weight gain and fatigue. It does help somewhat to provide relief but the side effects outweigh the benefit. I've been doing research online and read about Thymus glandular supplements for hay fever and allergies. I'm willing to try anything natural if it works without bad side effects."

Flonase (fluticasone) "I suffer from serious seasonal allergies and have regular headaches, congestion, itchy eyes, you name it. OTC drugs provide temporary relief until I tried Flonase. I am not exaggerating saying this is a miracle drug. After the first couple of days, it had cleared out my sinuses so well, I did not realize how bad they were. I did two sprays per nostril for two weeks and now use it when I feel congestion, sneezing, headache, or itchy eyes are coming on. This is the first season I have had an allergy-free season. I just discovered I am covered with a prescription so now I don't have to pay for it."

Flonase (fluticasone) "The worst thing about Flonase is that you have to try it for a full week to test whether it works. I just finished that week. It did not work and I slept terribly because I couldn't breathe. I have a narrow nasal passageway. Flonase did not work."

"My doctor would prescribe Fluticasone every fall for about 3 years. Never had any side effects BUT then something happened that my doctor knew about yet didn't tell me! On July 4, 2018 I ended up in the ER, fighting to keep my eyesight! Fluticasone can...and does....cause Glaucoma in both eyes! If my doctor had told me this at any time during the 3 years she kept prescribing it, I would NOT have taken it!! I love my eyesight more than a stuffy nose. The ER opthalmologist who treated me was disgusted with the callousness of my doctor. It took 6 hours to get ocular levels down to normal! Before you take any nasal steroids, get an eye exam to rule out any signs of glaucoma. I've since had 2 lasar eye surgeries (each eye) for the glaucoma, and cataract surgery in both eyes. I can safely take Flonase again but choose not to because I have dry eye which started after cataract surgery. Flonase does the same as Benedryl...dries me up. Nothing good about this med!"

"I have been using Flonase for over 10 years. The ENT doctor that originally prescribed it said it was safe for long-term everyday use. Now at 64, I have glaucoma out of the blue. I'm sure it is related to this drug. No doctor ever warned me about the side effects, and since it became over-the-counter I so wrongly assumed it was safe."

"Saw continually stuffed nose, fluticasone nasal was prescribed. It worked great great for 6 months, but during that time starting maybe the third month I developed daily headaches, some severe. Stopped using it to see if it is the spray causing them. Fingers crossed..I think!! I was having two sprays each nostril once daily."

"Been using since 15th May, initially with good results. Finding anxiety increased and breathing difficult sometimes. Some nights sleep ok, others only a few hours as nose congested. Dosage is 1 spray each nostril once per day. Lost weight as nausea causing me to eat less. Feel the cold more, keep tensing up. Insomnia is the worst."

Flonase (fluticasone) "I had been taking a spray that worked very well against the regular spring allergens as well as the smoke pollution from Central America, but it reacted after a short time with what I call the Afrin effect where wears off and leaves you worse than before. My wife (smarter than I) got some Claritin and Flonase and told me to use one of each in the morning and nothing else. It worked and I've been fine ever since."

"Completely blown away by the immediate effect this medication has had on my chronic non-allergic rhinitis... Mometasone didn't work for me. Wish I tried this one years ago. Haven't had a dry nose in over 8 years."

"Hi. I started off with mild allergies that hurt my eyes. In 2015; I then started developing more moderate seasonal allergies that would clog my nose, but salt spray would help. Then in 2018 I developed really bad sinuses where I can't breathe out my nose, and it lasts all year. My nostrils get so dry that it make me unintentionally sleep with my mouth open at night, which has led me to becoming a 'mouth breather'"
