Roxane Laboratories Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray Review

I'm allergic to things like cats, dogs, dust, pollen, mites, mold, etc.  I can't control the pollen, mites, mold, and dust, but I do have control over the animal factor.  My plan: well, at the moment, we have 7 cats and 6 dogs in the house, along with lots of dust, pollen, mites, and mold.  I guess you could say that I don't really have a plan other than to rely on allergy medications like Fluticasone Propionate.

Fluticasone Propionate is the generic version of Flonase which is a synthetic corticosteroid designed to reduce inflammation causing sneezing, runny nose, stuffiness, and itchy nose).  This is not a fast-acting product and requires at least 12 hours and usually more in order to produce any noticeable improvement of symptoms. 

I've had doctors suggest 2 "squirts" per nostril once a day and I've also had instructions to administer it twice a day.  With my allergy and congestion levels, I really do require a twice-per-day application during prime allergen seasons.  I keep using Fluticasone Proprionate because it works but I really don't enjoy the nasty taste that my mouth gets as it drips through my nose, down my throat, and into my mouth.  I also don't appreciate that it can really burn my nose and sometimes make it bleed after many days of repeated use. 

As a generic, this Flonase alternative should be affordable for most people.  It certainly is effective, though it can be a bit harsh after prolonged use.  I don't use Fluticasone Propionate every single day of my life, but it definitely helps me to get through the rough days/weeks of high allergy season.  Recommended!
