Flonase (fluticasone) for Hay Fever: Have used many allergy pills, but nothing works like Flonase. The only problem is when switching to generic, it stopped working for me. I thought I was immune after 2 years, but it was the "generic" that failed me. I've gone back to regular Flonase.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Rhinitis: Had terrible head cold; Veramyst worked very well keeping sinuses dry and open. Also, this is the first nasal spray that did NOT irritate my nose/sinsuses. I'm happy after using for five days.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Rhinitis: I've taken Veramyst for 11 days. My cavity fluid was "moderate." In one week the fluid was reduced to "small." A moderate amount of fluid is very uncomfortable to me, with shortness of breath and sinking oxygen level. Blood oxygen went from 91% to 96% in that first week of using Veramyst. It's now at 98%. A huge difference to me in how I feel with the moderate amount of fluid to the small amount. No side effects noted.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Nasal Polyps: I had four polyps removed two years ago. My physician prescribed Veramyst. I have really enjoyed using this medication once daily during the two years. No sign of the polyps returning. In addition, during the four years I haven't had a cold or a sinus problem. Prior I would be bothered with sinus problems during the winter season. I recommend this spray and will continue to use it myself.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Rhinitis: Worked great in reducing my hay fever/rhinitus symptoms. However, headache present the 6th-8th day of use, some eye discomfort/sensitivity, and from 6th day on; small amount of blood present in nasal secretions. Although Veramyst reduced the intensity of my symptoms, (itchy/watery eyes, itchy/runny nose,) it did not completely rid me of those symptoms. Will probably discontinue use due to concern regarding headaches. For me, level of effectiveness probably not worth the side effects.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Rhinitis: I have seasonal allergies and Veramyst works great, with no noticeable side-effects, when I use it occasionally. However, a couple of times recently I have used it for 3 consecutive days and at that point I began to notice side effects. I've noticed increased heart-rate and slight pain in my eyes. But these do not seem to last more than a day, provided I do not use the Veramyst the following (4th) day.

Flonase (fluticasone) for Rhinitis: I have vasomotor rhinitis and this is the best drug for me. When I'm off of it for a few days I can feel my nasal passages swelling and I get an awful headache. Before being on this I took decongestant/antihistimines and I still had post nasal drip and stuffiness and a lot of headaches. With this drug I feel like a normal person most of the time. The only downside is that I get more thirsty than normal but I just constantly carry water with me.

Flonase (fluticasone) for Hay Fever: I've used Flonase and the generic with success for hay fever and colds, but using it daily for weeks causes nose bleeds. I continue to use it short-term.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Nasal Polyps: I have extensive sinus disease and so many polyps that a CT could not pick up if part of my sinuses even existed anymore. I've also had 2 surgeries with no relief. My quality of life has been VERY poor. My ENT just put me on Veramyst and after 2 days I noticed a big relief. I don't feel like a colony of giant polyps are invading every orafice in my head. I haven't had a migraine, earache or retro-orbital headache in over a week. I haven't regained my sense of smell, however, I'm still discovering the pro's and con's of Veramyst. My neck, back and other body pain is worse but I don't know if that's because the focus has been taken off my face and head. Right now I'm just thankful for some relief and delaying frontal sinus obliteration.

Veramyst (fluticasone): I took this medication for inflammation of my nose, and having hard time to breath and also nose dripping,. My doctor said I will see the result in one month, however I saw the result the very first time, today is the third day I used the drop. It is fantastic, the more I use it, the more I feel comfortable to breath. I loved it, breathing is much easier.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Nasal Polyps: I had a FESS due to massive polyp growth which completely blocked my nasal passages - so I couldn't breath through the nose anymore. After the surgery I started taking Avamys (=Veramyst for Europe) for 6 months to prevent nasal polyp growing. First of all I have to say that I felt great relief. My nose never hurt, and I had no congestion or any other sinus problems. However after taking the spray for 3 consecutive months I felt that my nose got dry and I noticed some blood in my nasal secretion. In addition my eyes felt more sensitive and I felt more tired than usual but I have no clue if the last two effects were Avamys side effects. Avamys gave me relief in allergic rhinitis as well even though it didn't completely stop the symptoms.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Rhinitis: Relieved some nasal pressure and drainage. After a month of continuous use, developed insomnia and muscle spasms around ear and eyelid areas. Discontinued use and after 2 weeks, these symptoms disappeared.

fluticasone for Rhinitis: After suffering from year-round allergies and rhinitis all of my life, I finally got serious about treatment after the birth of my first child. Although I had taken nasal sprays in the past, I was never consistent. Now, I use fluticasone nasal twice daily and nearly ALL of my nasal allergy symptoms have subsided. I would definitely recommend for anyone suffering the same.

Flonase (fluticasone) for Rhinitis: Well great with the bad. Been using this medicine for two months now. This product worked great. It cleared my sinuses and got rid of the allergies, and it opened up the tubes from my eardrum to my throat where they could drain. But after two months I started getting joint pains, shoulder pains, bad and neck and other joints. It got so bad last week I went to the Doctor and had X-rays done, just some mild wear and tear about it. Then I got to looking up reviews and there it was a lot of joints pains and some mild aggression, moody. Well that summed it up never before had this trouble before Flonase.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Hay Fever: The product works great but the past 2 times I have bought it the click spray button only works when it want's to. Sometimes I can't get it to spray at all, like it's stuck.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Hay Fever: After seeing a allergy specialist for a grass/tree pollen allergy, I switched from over the counter drugs [Claritin, Allegra] to Veramyst. It works great, and I do not experience negative side effects, such as nose bleed. If my eyes are itchy, I use Pataday eye drops.

fluticasone for Rhinitis: In the past three months, I have been suffering from some major congestion during the nighttime, so much that I couldn't sleep well and had started snoring. Doctor prescribed the generic fluticasone and Allegra-D. I've had extremely good results from this, allowing me to breathe fully during the night. I've been taking the medications for about 3.5 weeks. However, I started to have some minor nosebleeds in the last week, and today have had four nosebleeds. I'm planning on stopping the fluticanase.

Flonase (fluticasone): Have been using Flonase for about 1 month. Dosage 1 spray per nostril twice daily. The only side effect noted has been a tiny amount of blood present when I blow my nose, but this is infrequent and is always a very small "spot". I have responded amazingly well to this medication and my ongoing problem with congestion is greatly improved. The only reason I didn't rate Flonase as a 10 was that nothing is perfect and I allowed for the development of something that possibly, though unlikely, would perform better.

Flonase (fluticasone) for Rhinitis: Had hoped it would help with a constant nightly congestion, but it didn't. Actually seemed a tiny bit worse. Doctor hasn't found any allergies in what has been tested. Though I have found anti-histamines to help in the past and I'm going to try those now to see if that helps.

fluticasone for Hay Fever: I used to suffer from hay fever and allergies for years, especially bad in spring and fall. I used many different pills and nose sprays and none worked well. Doctor prescribed Flonase several years ago. It has worked wonderfully well for me with no side effects that I am aware of. When I tried to stop I notice nasal congestion returning gradually. For me, this has been a life-enhancing medicine and have recommended many friends who have similar problems to try.

Flonase (fluticasone) for Hay Fever: Flonase has greatly improved my life! My nasal allergies were terrible, even with taking an Allegra every day. I had to carry Kleenex with me everywhere. Mornings were the worst - I would sit with my coffee in one hand and a tissue in the other. It was miserable. After becoming tired of feeling awful every day, I paid a visit to the allergist, who prescribed Flonase. Within a week I was feeling 100% better. No more itchy, runny nose. No more post nasal drip. I used to get a constant tickle in my throat, which I never believed was caused by post nasal drip, but evidently it was, because that is also gone! I love this.

Veramyst (fluticasone) for Hay Fever: Did not work for me. I didn't experience a stuffy nose caused by mucous after I started using it, but my nasal passages always felt swollen, dry and painful.
