How Taken:
Use Flonase as directed by your doctor. You must prime the inhaler before you use it for the first time. To prime the inhaler, shake it well for 5 seconds, then pump 1 test spray into the air away from your face. Repeat this 3 more times to be sure the inhaler is fully primed. Using Flonase at the same time each day will help you remember to use it. 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. Keep the spray away from your eyes.
