Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
is it possible to have a reaction to flonase? I used flonase 6 days ago for allergy issues and within about 20 or 30 minutes I was very nauseas. I vomited once that same day and have been feeling sick to my stomach to some degree all week. I also developed hives on the tricep and bicep areas of my arms, the backs of my thighs, my buttocks, and a few random spots on my torso. I noticed those starting to bother me 4 days ago, on Tuesday evening. I haven t used any new soaps, lotions, detergents, or foods into my diet and I m not taking any other medications except a probiotic most days.
Allergic reaction (hives as you described) to this drug is rare. You need to discontinue this drug. Alternative is Nasonex nasal spray which contains mometasone, again a corticosteroid -a common prescription for allergic rhinitis/Hay fever.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
