Avatar f tn I was wondering if any of you on the site who have Hep C, who have ever had experience with using a prescription allergy medicine that is a nasal spray? I had taken Flonase in the past, never really cared for the backwash it has. But, I've been seeing an allergist because my allergies have really bothered me this year. He prescribed a medicine that is a nasal spray called Astelin.
612551 tn?1450022175 I suffer from night time nasal congestion and frequently use an Afrin-type nose spray once at bedtime... I also use saline spray and try to get by using just that for a few nights - not sure what I used the night of the nose bleed. I also note I am on Coumadin (blood thinner) due to a heart condition. I have no history of nose bleed problems, and have no previous occasions that I sought medical help to stop.
Avatar m tn I have bee taking Beconase hayfever spray (a steroid nasal spray) for a month and began feeling the sensation of skipped heartbeats which tend to increase around my monthly cycle. I experienced them a few years ago, also at the time of taking the Beconase spray. It took several months after discontinuing the spray before they eventually disappeared. I am having the same symptoms this time.
Avatar n tn HI Cynsible.. Are you doing any better with allergies? .I have been taking Culturelle (a very good probiotic) for years and find it has practically cured my irritable bowel problems. It also helps some with reflux, but not completely. So you're right about it helping. I still am taking generic Flonase, but every other day, and only one puff in each nostril.

It started with a really bad sinus infection; I had a lot of pain at the top of my palate, radiating into my nose, ears, and throat. I had a second round of antibiotics (Clarythromicin, Z-Pack) and the second one I was also given Magic Mouthwash (oral lidocane gargle).
Avatar m tn I have a esophagus condition and was told to take flonase and spray 2 shots in my mouth twice a day. Flonase is a steroid and it helps with the inflammation. I had difficulty swallowing to the point of choking and passing out and this has helped me tremendously.
464237 tn?1315670793 The pain went away within two hours yesterday after shots buit woke up this morning and pain is back as well as the post nasal drip. The doctor also prescribed me Flonase nasal spray for the infection but I read the info on it and it says do not take if you have an infection because it is a steroid and it lowers the immune systom. So I'm terrified to use it because I don't want the infection to get even worse. How is it ok to use flonase for bacterial infection?
Avatar f tn Can nasal spray make your blood pressure go high?i really think i have a problem with this stuff i never did up until 2 years ago i just don't know what to do for the first time i started bleeding from my nose.im going to try and stop useing it but whenever i do the right side of my nose get's stuff up what should i do?
Avatar n tn com/health/nasal-spray-addiction#treatment It suggests switching from a decongestant nasal spray to a steriod nasal spray. I would check with your doctor though before doing anything. Your sinus gets physically dependent on the spray but you can resolve that.
579469 tn?1311705550 s absolutely no high when using nose spray. What you get is clear wide-open nasal passages. Nasal spray is a God-send when you have a bad cold or allergies and you can't breathe. The directions say only use 3-4 days or so. Beyond that you start to develop a physical addiction. This means that abrupt cessation results in your nasal passages swelling shut for up to 4 - 8 days or so with virtually no relief until they open back up naturally again, i.e.
Avatar m tn //www.rxlist.com/flonase-side-effects-drug-center.htm - which is probably why your doctor said to stop using it. If your cough got better using it, maybe it was helping some allergy symptoms, like post-nasal drip. Did you ask your doctor what he meant, or try to clarify anything? Always feel free to ask questions and clarify anything you don't understand with your doctor.
Avatar f tn It depends on the type of nasal spray too. Saline and Flonase can be used every day. And if your doctor cleared you for those, that's fine. Try to avoid Afrin type nasal sprays, I cannot confirm if they are safe during pregnancy or not, but the issue with this type of spray is that you can only use it for a few days at a time.
2114467 tn?1358210256 In 18 healthy subjects, administration of fluticasone propionate nasal spray (200 mcg once daily) in combination with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ritonavir (100 mg twice daily) for 7 days resulted in an approximately 25-fold increase in fluticasone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and 350-fold increase in systemic exposure (AUC) compared to administration alone. These changes were accompanied by an 86% decrease in mean plasma cortisol AUC.". http://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.
Avatar f tn Hello! I've been dealing with stuffiness on and off for about 3-4 weeks now. Originally my doctors thought it was a sinus infection and gave me antibiotics. However, I think it started off with bad allergies (possibly) and because I used Afrin longer than suppose to, I'm thinking it turned into rebound congestion. Some days I have 0 congestion and some days I have some. Recently I started to cut down on the afrin (I went from twice a day to once a day) and I'm using Flonase.
Avatar f tn I'm also taking Fluticasone Propionate and have the very same issue. I think it's because the nasal spray dries out the nasal cavity. At first, I started having bloody noses, but then that stopped and this current symptom started. My doctor had said it may make the nose very dry and to try saline solution once daily after the Flonase. I have yet to do that, but it's supposed to help. Hope that helps.
Avatar n tn A good initial treatment is a nasal steroid spray, like Flonase. Zyrtec or Claritin might also be effective. If medical management does not work, immunotherapy (allergy shots) might be required to desensitize you to the things to which you are allergic.
Avatar m tn Mix saltwater and get it into one of your empty bottles(im sure you have one laying around) and use it as if it was 4way nasal spray,within 24 hrs your nasal path will return to normal and you wont need anything,i know it sounds hard to believe but trust me,I was using about 2 bottles a week until an elder man told me this, I havent used anything in 2 weeks now,I wouldnt have never believed it either but he knew what he was talking about, I think I just had to use the saltwater 2 or 3 times,and
Avatar f tn My doctor put me on a medication called SYNAREL Nasal Spray for the next six months. Just wondering if anyone else was on this nasal spray? Side effects? I've been on it for 2.5 weeks. I've had horrible headaches daily, extreme fatigue and muscle and joint pain. My doctor does not think this is related to the Synarel. Anyone with similar experience?
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. For the past week and a half I have been dealing with unrelenting panic. I truly mean unrelenting, as it has been a problem for 10 or more hours a day. I've been fighting severe nasal congestion for over a month and I've been on a corticosteroid spray for the last three weeks, but my doctor doesn't think that the spray is producing these side effects. Something's up.
Avatar n tn Some doctor suggested me a drug Fluticasone propionate. It is generic drug called Flonase. With 30 days of regular spray, I could get away from addiction of Otrivin.
Avatar n tn ) - is a surgical incision of the vas deferens… (not sure if you actually heard it!..), however as a huge worrier of getting the possible long-life side effects from it, I have to believe and rely on that there is still could be one but an effective nasal remedy against this symptom, thus to undergo this risky and unpredictable surgery could be unnecessary!
Avatar m tn I know exactly what you are going through, I have many of the same symptoms. The increasing pressure in the ears - sometimes it feels like it unclogs for awhile then builds back up - I even get pressure and tingling in the nose and sinus area for over a month. I get the same advice about it being an Eustachian tube dysfunction and try to be patient as it will likely resolve itself. Meanwhile we're suffering needlessly.
612551 tn?1450022175 My question applies to competing brands, including stuff that is a copy like Equate, which I don't seem to currently offer the "Moisture" version. So, is the "Afrin No Drip 12 Hour Pump Mist, Extra Moisturizing" better than the "regular Afrin"? Same for any other competitors. For reference, I have ongoing trouble with nasal congestion when lying down, sleep time. Afrin and generic work great, but if I use for a week or more I start have sneezing problems.
