FLONASE
USES
Flonase
is a nasal corticosteroid that works directly on nasal tissue
to reduce swelling and inflammation. The medication is used
to treat itching, runny nose, postnasal drip, nasal congestion
and sneezing in people with a history of rhinitis.
FLONASE
DIRECTIONS
To get the most benefit from Flonase, make sure you understand
how to use the nasal spray properly. Ask your doctor or pharmacist
to show you how to use the pump and nasal adapter. Shake gently
before each use. Before using the medication for the first
time, the unit must be "primed" with 3 to 4 pumps
of the spray. Use Flonase exactly as prescribed. Do not use
more than two sprays in each nostril daily. It may take a
few days before the benefits of the medication are noticed.
If no improvement occurs after several days, notify your doctor.

PRECAUTIONS
Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: any
allergies, eye problems (glaucoma), infections, recent nasal
surgery, nasal sores. If you are prescribed doses higher than
those usually recommended, avoid exposure to chickenpox or
measles. If you do become exposed, notify your doctor promptly.
Though very unlikely, it is possible this medication will
be absorbed into your bloodstream. This may have undesirable
consequences that may require additional corticosteroid treatment.
This is especially true for children and for those who have
used this for an extended period if they also have serious
medical problems such as serious infections, injuries or surgeries.
