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 for Allergic Conjunctivitis

This has been a big help for me in terms of sinus drainage associated with hay fever. I only wish it lasted longer!

Flonase for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy

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.

Flonase for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy

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!

Flonase for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy

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.

Flonase for Allergic Conjunctivitis

I had some trouble at first administering the dose, but once I figured it out it didn't work very well for me.
