Buy Flonase/Flixonase OTC - ours is available over the counter, no prescription necessary!
Itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, headache, coughing and
congestion are all symptoms of seasonal allergies. When one or two
symptoms are present, it can really put a damper on life. However,
when several of these symptoms are present at once, even
participating in simple day-to-day activities can be almost
impossible. What can a person with debilitating allergy symptoms do
to find relief?
For years, the answer to that question was “almost
nothing”. Eventually, the pharmaceutical industry started
pushing expensive allergy medication. Some of it worked, but had so
many side effects that many people refused to take them. After all,
being allergy-free is only amazing if you’re not knocked out
by sleep-inducing side effects. Buy Flonase from Kiwi Drug now!

Finally, a drug called Flonase hit the market. A nasal spray
with few side effects, it is safe for everyone over the age of
four. Best yet, the side effects that are associated with using the
spray are very mild, including sore throat, dryness of the nose and
minor headaches. Essentially, the side effects are not all that
dissimilar from the allergy symptoms themselves.
Even women who are pregnant or nursing can safely use this drug,
which just goes to show how safe the substance is. In fact, the
only people who shouldn’t take Flonase are those who are
allergic to fluticasone propionate, one of the active ingredients
found in the spray.
People interested in controlling their nasal allergy symptoms
should talk to their doctor about the options that are available to
treat them. With that said, the recommended dosage for a typical
adult are two sprays in each nostril, once per day. This works out
to approximately 100 mcg per day.
After using Flonase for a few days, most patients note a drastic
reduction in their nasal allergy symptoms. Once the allergy
symptoms have been reduced, the amount of nasal spray a patient
needs to experience complete relief is cut in half. Most patients
only need to use one spray per nostril, to maintain the therapy. It
is recommended that total usage not exceed four total sprays per
day.
For adolescents and children, the suggested starting dosage of
Flonase is 50 mcg – approximately one spray per nostril, per
day. If that amount is insufficient, it is safe to increase the
dosage of the medication to 100 mcg, total. Regardless of how much
children start out taking, once the symptoms are manageable, the
daily dosage should not exceed 50 mcg per day.
In Canada and the United States, Flonase is marketed by
GlaxoSmithKline. In Europe, New Zealand and Australia, the drug is
known as “Flixonase”. The product is the same across

propionate. Inactive ingredients include mocrocrystalline
cellulose, polysorbate 80, carboxymethyl-cellulose sodium,
benzalkonium chloride and dextrose. Each bottle provides 120 doses,
holding a net weight of 16 grams of medication.

Flonase Nasal Spray is intended for the relief of nasal symptoms of allergies and other seasonal reactions such as runny nose, sneezing, itching and congestion, tearing of the eyes, coughing and headache.
Fluticasone propionate, the active ingredient of Flonase, is a synthetic steroid that has an anti-inflammatory action. The exact mode of action of this drug in relation to allergic rhinitis is not known. But being a member of the corticosteroid family of drugs it has a wide range of effects on different types of white blood cells such as mast cells, eosinophils, neutropils, macrophages and lymphocytes and acts as third party in the inflammation process. Its effect improves after several days after administration, thus, it is not intended to be used for the immediate relief of allergic symptoms.
Fluticasone propionate delivered through nasal administration has a complete bioavailability averaging less than 2%. After three weeks of treatment, fluticasone propionate plasma concentration was above the level of detection only when recommended doses were exceeded. Due to poor bioavailability by nasal administration, the majority of pharmacokinetic data was gathered through other routes of administration. Using intravenous administration, the first character stage for fluticasone propionate was rapid and constant with its high lipid solubility and tissue binding. The total blood clearance of this drug is high with renal clearance for less than 0.02% of the total. The only circulating metabolite detected is 17β-carboxylic acid that is formed through cytochrome P450 3A4 pathway. After intravenous administration, the terminal elimination half-life is approximately 7.8 hours. Less than 5% was excreted in the urine as metabolites and the remainder was excreted in the feces.
Before initiation of this medication, it is important to inform the physicians of all the medications currently taken to avoid drug-drug interactions that may lead to serious side effects.
Cytochrome P450 3A4
Concurrent Administration of ritonavir (Norvir, Kaletra) can greatly increase Flonase plasma concentration that may lead to systemic corticosteroid effects that includes Cushing syndrome and adrenal suppression. The combination of these two drugs should be avoided.
Concomitant use of azole anti-fungal drugs such as ketoconazole (Nizoral,) and erythromycin increases in complete exposure to fluticasone propionate without significant reductions in serum cortisol concentration. However, rare cases of adrenocortical suppression associated with the use of these drugs and inhaled fluticasone propionate were reported during post-marketing use. Caution should be exercised when co-administration of ketoconazole or erythromycin as there is potential increase of fluticasone propionate concentration in the body.
Flonase Nasal Spray is intended for the management of the nasal symptoms of hay fever and perennial allergic rhinitis in adults and children ages 4 years and older.
Flonase Nasal Spray is not recommended in patients with allergic reactions to fluticasone propionate and any of its components.
Flonase Nasal Spray is not recommended for children under 4 years of age.
Intranasal corticosteroids, like Flonase Nasal Spray, may retard growth in children and cause reduction of adrenal gland function.
