To reach the best results with Flonase, you should use it regularly, as prescribed by your doctor, since its effectiveness depends on regular use. Because Flonase helps relieve inflammation, once you begin treatment you should use it once a day, every day as directed by your healthcare professional. The recommended starting dosage in adults is 2 sprays (50 mcg of Flonase Nasal Spray propionate each) in each nostril once daily (total daily dose, 200 mcg). The same dosage divided into 100 mcg given twice daily (e.g., 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.) is also effective. After the first few days, patients may be able to reduce their dosage to 100 mcg (1 spray in each nostril) once daily for maintenance therapy. Some patients (12 years of age and older) with seasonal allergic rhinitis may find as-needed use of 200 mcg once daily effective for symptom control. Greater symptom control may be achieved with scheduled regular use.
Nasacort Nasal Spray is a solution to inhale through the nose. It usually is inhaled one to four times a day at evenly spaced intervals. Before using triamcinolone, gently blow your nose to clear your nasal passages. Avoid blowing your nose for 15 minutes after inhaling the prescribed dose.
