Fluticasone Allergy Nasal Spray Allergy Relief - 24 Hour Non Drowsy

A not-so-brief introduction before the review: I'm 42 and have always had allergies. Sneezing has always been part of my daily life (not day in, day out, or just a few here and there), and so has an itchy nose. I'm allergic to pollen, weather fluctuations, grass, dust, and even a hint of black pepper in the air makes all hell break loose. In the past four years, though, things got out of hand: itchy eyes, an occasionally itchy throat, a very itchy nose, and an astounding average of 40 or 50 sneezes per day. The most intense fits were usually in the morning and at night. On top of that, I had a bad sinus infection in November 2024, one that clogged my nose so badly that I started using Afrin because otherwise I couldn't breathe. I ended up developing rhinitis medicamentosa, meaning I used it for too long and developed severe rebound congestion whenever I went without it. I eventually got to the point of using at least two sprays in each nostril twice a day, sometimes more. I decided to start tapering off Afrin so I could finally get rid of it, which meant I needed all the help I could get. I've been using a saline spray, this fluticasone spray, and taking a fexofenadine pill every morning for the past 12 days. I use the fluticasone consistently every morning rather than waiting until I have symptoms. I was flabbergasted, astonished, dumbfounded from the very first day: I only sneezed TWICE. I thought it could've been "beginner's luck," but I was so wrong. For 12 days, I haven't had a single sneeze fit (which, in my book, means more than three consecutive sneezes). Zero itchiness. Most days I've sneezed no more than two or three times total, if at all. Considering I was averaging 40 or 50 sneezes every single day before this, the difference has been unbelievable. I've also noticed the difference when exposed to some of my usual triggers. We've had rainy, humid weather, which normally makes my nose miserable, and I've been able to go outside without having a sneeze fit or immediately becoming congested. Before starting this routine, that would've been unheard of for me. My congestion has improved dramatically too. For perspective, before starting this treatment I was using at least two sprays of Afrin in each nostril twice a day, sometimes more. At first, I found myself able to reduce it to only morning and night, so every 12 hours, give or take. In less than a week, I managed to extend that interval even further, and now I'm down to one spray in each nostril roughly once every 24 hours. At this point, I only "need" Afrin at night before going to bed. The quotes are necessary here because I don't actually know that I physically need it anymore—I just don't feel comfortable yet trying to sleep without it after relying on it for so long. This fluticasone spray itself is quite easy and comfortable to use. I use two sprays in each nostril, aiming slightly outward and away from the septum. The mist is easy to administer, and I haven't experienced any unpleasant aftertaste, burning, dryness, irritation, or nosebleeds so far. My allergy symptoms improved dramatically from the very first day. I do want to be clear, though, that I'm using fluticasone together with fexofenadine and saline, so I can't say which product deserves credit for the immediate improvement or how much each one is contributing. What I can say is that the combination has changed my daily life. I'm also not claiming that this spray heals rhinitis medicamentosa. In my case, using it as part of my treatment combo showed me that my allergies were apparently playing a HUGE role in my nasal symptoms on top of the rebound congestion from Afrin. All three products have been vital to my end goal—to free myself from the Afrin spray—because they've made the process so much more comfortable and tolerable. I'm not completely off Afrin yet, but going from at least eight individual sprays per day to only two roughly every 24 hours in less than two weeks is progress I honestly wasn't expecting this quickly. And even putting the Afrin issue aside, going from 40–50 sneezes a day and constant nasal itching to virtually no sneezing and zero itchiness has been enough to make this spray worth it for me.

Great product works as good if not better than Big name brands. And a much better price. I’ve ordered it several times and will continue to buy it from Amizon

I purchased the 4-pack, which at ~$30 was an excellent value ($7.50 for one bottle). Still, when you are shopping sight unseen, one wonders what he/she will get and whether something might be amiss. Nothing was amiss. The four bottles were each individually packed in their own shelf-worthy, labeled-for-individual-sale boxes. Those four boxes were lined up next to each other and shrink wrapped as a bundle. The boxes had neat, square corners and shiny unblemished surfaces. These are indications to me that the boxes were straight from the assembly line and hadn't passed through many hands. (Sometimes product boxes come beat up and that would be a worrysome sign with a pharmaceutical. That was not the case with my order of FlutiCare.) Each individual bottle had about 18 months shelf-life remaining, so no worries there - the product is fresh (yet another thing one must think about when ordering pharmaceuticals through this type of merchant.) As for the product itself, the color of the fluid is the same as that in FloNase, the leading brand fluticasone proprionate. The fragrance of the fluid is the same as FloNase. This comparison is fresh because I had a recent bottle of FloNase that I was using when my FlutiCare arrived. I was able to compare them next to each other. The bottle is shaped differently than FloNase. FloNase comes in a bottle that is shaped like a track field (a rectangle with half circles on each end). The height of the FloNase bottle is short. Fluticare comes in a perfectly cylindrical bottle, with a smaller base, and a taller height. I prefer the FlutiCare bottle because with a smaller, taller shape, the dip tube (the dip tube is the visible tube that extends to and rests on the bottom of the bottle) manages to capture and use almost all of the medicine in the bottle with little to no waste. The FloNase on the other hand with its larger base surface area leads to either more product waste, or tricky maneuvering of the bottle during use to try to use up all the medicine found on the bottom of the bottle. The sprayer itself is perfectly narrow and tall enough to be maneuvered in the nostril for various methods of administration (my doctor advises barely inserting the sprayer in the nostril, as there are many receptors within the nostril that benefit from absorbing the medication, as opposed to full insertion and delivery of the medicine straight up into the nasal passages, bypassing the nostril). I find that the actuation of the sprayer (when you press the sprayer down) administers a nice, even blast of the medication that is neither too strong as to cause discomfort, nor too light as to cause wonder of whether the actuation was a "good actuation" or not. And lastly, in terms of efficacy, I have been using the product for a couple of weeks and have not noticed any changes or differences in how the medication works. I am still receiving the same benefits that fluticasone proprionate has offered me, which are significant reduction in allergic symptoms. Fluticasone proprionate was the only thing that turned my awful allergy season this Fall around (my previous six years of immunotherapy (allergy shots) and antihistamines including both Fexofenadine and Loratadine, did not work). I recommend this product, I was not offered anything for this review, and I rarely review products unless they so impress me (either positively or negatively) that I am moved to share.

This seems to work just as well as the brand-name product, it’s hard to tell though because my allergies are still a little active. I have purchased multiple times though, and it is a good value.

I had very good results and I think it works better than the leading brand. I recently moved to another state and my sensitive sinuses did not adjust well to new pollens etc. I tried the leading homeopathic and steroidal nasal sprays, and still was so stuffy I would wake up more than once at night gasping for air. I saw this product scrolling on Amazon and was skeptical, but gave it a try. I truly was amazed as my sinus unplugged and drained.

Good product for a great price.

It works. It makes a difference. It is priced right.

Great for allergies
