Flonase Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe effects of fluticasone propionate on pregnant and breastfeeding women have not been thoroughly studied. Animal studies have shown that subcutaneous doses of fluticasone propionate can cause birth defects in rats, but oral doses do not. However, there have been no reported side effects in pregnant women. Fluticasone propionate in breast milk might affect growth, hormone production, or other aspects. Children who used fluticasone propionate cream experienced a decrease in their body's natural steroid production. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the drug's side effects, but there is no difference in safety

Flonase Reviews: What are patients saying about Flonase?
4.3Patient Review
6/30/2022 This has been a big help for me in terms of sinus drainage associated with hay fever. I only wish it lasted longer!
2.7Patient Review
3/14/2022 I started taking this medication three days ago and also began a blood pressure medicine, but the initial dose was too high so I lowered it. I had a panic attack soon after starting these medications, which is something that hasn't happened in over 20 years. Based on my experience and another person's similar review, I believe that this medication either caused or made it easier to have a panic attack. Therefore, I will not be using it again.
2.3Patient Review
4/21/2022 Do not use this medication. I have been using it for 2 days and I am having terrible nose bleeds. I was using the sensitive one and having this problem. I would not recommend this product at all!
2Patient Review
10/4/2022 Flonase caused me a lot of stomach problems after only two weeks of use. I stopped using it and gradually began to feel better, but I'll never use it again. Nasacort is much better for me.
2Patient Review
8/5/2022 I had some trouble at first administering the dose, but once I figured it out it didn't work very well for me.
2Patient Review
9/9/2022 Though it does clear up your sinuses, I found the side effects not worth it. Daily headaches, heart racing, dizziness, and lightheadedness were all regular occurrences for me while taking this medication.
1.3Patient Review
6/20/2022 I had some really negative side effects while taking this drug, including anxiety, depression, and daily headaches. I'm barely getting better after three months. If you suffer from anxiety, I would recommend avoiding this medication.
1Patient Review
8/18/2022 I had terrible anxiety and panic attacks after using this product just once. It's been weeks since I stopped, and I'm still feeling the effects. If you have any history of anxiety, please avoid this treatment at all cost!
1Patient Review
9/1/2022 Do not use this medication if you are prone to anxiety or panic attacks, as it will only worsen those symptoms. I experienced intense anxiety and felt like I was going to die after using this nose spray.
1Patient Review
6/12/2022 I've had to go to the ER twice this week because my throat and tongue have been swelling up, making it difficult to breathe. I also had to use an EpiPen both times before I could get to the hospital.
