I have some weird allergies, asthma and EoE (Eosinophilic Esophigitis that leads to asthma type symptoms). I was given a flovent diskus Rx by my GI specialist for my EoE and told to swallow it instead of inhale. During this time of COVID, I have read that if you have Asthma, we need to be more careful regarding precautions (for obvious reasons). I didn't like swallowing the Diskus powder and didn't like paying $100++ for it, so I was told that I could swallow Flonase, since it is the same ingredient. This leads me to......I use my Albuterol anywhere from 1 time a week to 2 times a day. Technically this puts me in a classification where I "should" probably be taking a maintenance inhaled steroid for my lungs. Well, Flovent HFA and Diskus is one of those. That being said, would taking Flonase through the nose be the same thing? I can't imagine it would do any harm since anything you inhale, you are also getting some of that into your lungs anyways. I did a search on the internet and seemed to find that it could be used in this manner, but I value CB knowledge over Google. Here is what I found.... Flonase is the brand name for fluticasone nasal spray, a prescription drug used to prevent and reduce nasal inflammation. Doctors prescribe Flonase to treat symptoms of seasonal and year-round allergies. Flonase is a corticosteroid, a class of drugs (also referred to as steroids) that's used to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages, LUNGS, and skin, and is sometimes given orally for more severe conditions.
