Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 Has anyone here experienced a problem with Flonase nasal spray aggravating their pancreatitis or actually causing an attack? I've been using it and my pancreatitis has acted up. I don't know if there is a correlation or not. It could be something else causing the flare. Just thought I'd check with the group.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Hi Kaye, Thanks for your input. Yes, Flonase is a corticosteroid. I think the dose is 50 mcg. per spray. Thanks for your help.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Joyce, I'm glad the Flonase is working for you. It's a very effective solution to inflamed drippy sinuses. The active ingredient is a corticosteroid very similar to prednisone so it generally works very well to get rid of the inflammation that stuffs our heads up. Back before I was diagnosed I lived on Claritin and Flonase every spring when my allergies kicked in. Haven't needed much but the Claritin recently but I'll use Flonase again if I need to.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 - i don't have an answer to your question the pulmonary doc just prescribed Flonase all of my docs know that i have recently developed prednisone induced diabetes This past wednesday, 3/18, i met with an endocrinologist who put me on a pill for diabetes--meforin (spelling???) the endocrinologist said that after the transplant, the prednisone dose will probably be so high that they will probably have me on insulin Pink Joyce IPF 3/06 Pennsylvania Donate Life Listed 1/09 www.transplantfund.org--- Subject: Re: flonaseTo: Breathe-Support Date: Friday, March 20, 2009, 10:38 AM Joyce.... I'm not able to take predisone because it puts me into diabetes. I can't take anything with steriods. Do you have any suggestions to taking something other than Flonase?
