Similarly one may ask, what does flonase treat?
Nonprescription fluticasone nasal spray (Flonase Allergy) is used to relieve symptoms of rhinitis such as sneezing and a runny, stuffy, or itchy nose and itchy, watery eyes caused by hay fever or other allergies (caused by an allergy to pollen, mold, dust, or pets).
Is flonase safe while pregnant?
If your allergies are severe and you aren’t getting relief from OTC allergy drugs, there’s still hope. You can try an intranasal steroid spray like Nasonex® or Flonase®. These sprays are safe to use throughout pregnancy and the regular recommended dosage is still appropriate, Dr. Zanotti says.
