Days so flonase also has a generic known as fluticasone soflones is a steroid inhaler that’s used in most patients in order to help with allergies as well as asthma so how do patients use it when they have allergies so patients can take one to two sprays in each nostril once a day and once that symptoms start decreasing then you can decrease it down to about
One spray once a day for patients who have asthma you want to take about one to two sprays in each nostril once a day and this medication usually comes in another form which is known as the annuity electrolyta so this medication comes as a nasal spray as you may already know and what are some of the side effects of this medication so some of the side effects
Of the medication include headache this medication can also cause back ache it can cause nose bleeding most especially if your nose is very dry um it can also cause cough as well as stroke pain as you may know that when you’re spraying something inside your nostril it kind of um drains into your throat so it can kind of cause trope pain or throat irritation and
Also some patients have noticed fever with this medication so with this symptoms they’re not all inclusive so patients may or may not have the symptoms it really just depends on how well your body tolerates this medication so this medication is a steroid inhaler and um there are some control indications which is there are some patients who should not be taking
This medication so if you do have an acute asthma episode this is not the right time for you to take this medication as this medication may take longer for it to work or for the action to start kicking it for it to help with that asthma episode so it is recommended to take the albuterol inhaler instead if you do have asthma also if you have any hypersensitivity
Whatsoever to milk products this is not going to be a medication of choice as your body may react to this medication so what do you want to know about this medication this medication works greatly for patients who have allergies i’ve tried it before and it has really helped with allergies whether it be pollen or maybe some patients who just have seasonal allergies
All throughout the year when the weather changes this medication would be a great medication to try in order to help with those allergies so you want to make sure that you shake this medication very well before use as you know that this is a liquid solution in order for the medication to be well mixed in before you apply the spray so for the first time when you’re
Trying this nasal spray you want to make sure that you’re priming the bottle before use so what does prime in the bottle mean so you want to spray out about six sprays into the air before inserting this in your nostril and um spraying it up your nose through also if this medication bottle is left on use for about 30 days or maybe you left the bottle of the cap
Open or up for about five days or more then you want to make sure that you’re priming this bottle as well before you use it so don’t forget you want to make sure that you’re spraying about six sprays outside in the air before you place it in your nostrils um and spray it so like i said earlier this medication is not for patients who are having an acute episode
Of asthma so this patient needs a medication that’s gonna open up their lungs faster which is going to be the albuterol so that butyroid is going to serve as the rescue inhaler in order to help these patients however there are some asthma patients that do use this on the long term as a maintenance medication in order to help keep their asthma controlled and as
I said earlier this medication does take time to work so this is not a medication that you want to see that that you’re going to see the effect immediately once you start using it in patients who have asthma also with this medication you want to make sure that you’re using it the same time every day so this medication is a once in a 24-hour medication so you
Want to make sure that you’re being consistent in terms of when you’re using it that way you’re not using it way less than that 24 hour period gap that you’re supposed to give it also in patients that have a history of fungal infection this might not be the medication of choice because this medication as i said earlier is a steroid inhaler and usually steroids
Are known to increase patients risk of having an infection so if you have a risk of having a condition known as candidiasis this is not going to be a medication of choice for you or if you do end up using the medication you want to make sure that you’re being careful and if you start seeing any reoccurrence of that infection then you want to make sure you stop
It and reach out to your doctor immediately also in patients who are using this steroid inhaler for a long time period this medication can affect how well your wound heals so patients who are known to use steroids usually have a more slow healing process any time they have a wound and this is usually recommended that that that’s one of the reason why we have
Patients kind of use the steroid for a short period of time that way they don’t start seeing this side effect also with this medication it may slow the growth in children especially children that are using it as a long-term medication for asthma control so you want to make sure that you’re reaching out to your doctor if you’re noticing any growth stunt in your
Child also with this medication another side effect for patients who are using it long term is they can cause low bone mineral density which are all side effects that are attributed to the medication being a steroid with this medication um if for patients who are using this as a long-term medication for asthma as well you want to make sure that you’re checking
With your prescriber before before taking any vaccine which are known as a live vaccine so this medications this vaccines will be known as your chickenpox or measles virus vaccine so you want to make sure that you’re reaching out in terms of taking live vaccine if this is an appropriate vaccine if you are going to be on this medication long term all right i
