What Are The Side Effects Of Flonase?

I ve been taking Flonase now for about a month. After reading all the reactions to this medicine, I feel maybe I should stop it. I am having ear problems and seeing an ENT doctor and having a CAT Scan of my ears this week. I am wondering if this was a good thing to start.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The flonase is a steroid nasal spray, which has an antiinflammatory action. The main disadvantage of this spray is it makes the area more prone for infection like fungal infections. It can cause nasal bleeding, headache, sore throat, loss of interest in sex.
So do not use this for long term.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
