How to use it

For the adult Flonase Allergy Relief product, use two sprays per nostril daily, reducing to one when controlled. Aim away from the septum.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding; product age limits differ, so check the exact label.

Before you use it

Avoid use with untreated respiratory infection; discuss recent nasal surgery, ulcers and eye disease.

Possible side effects

Nosebleeds, nasal irritation and headache. Reassess if not improving after seven days.

When to get help

Persistent bleeding, nasal sores, visual changes or allergic swelling need assessment.

Other medicines and products

Ritonavir and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors can markedly increase steroid exposure.

Missed doses, storage and accidental exposure

Follow your own product’s missed-dose instructions. If you are unsure, ask the Care365 clinical team before taking an extra dose. Contraceptives, injections and modified-release medicines may need a specific plan.

Keep the original packaging and follow its storage, expiry and disposal instructions. Keep medicines away from children and pets. Ask about refrigeration, after-opening limits and safe sharps disposal when relevant.

For suspected overdose or accidental swallowing, contact poison control or urgent medical care promptly. Call emergency services for breathing difficulty, collapse or a seizure.
