Medical Source Information
Yellow highlights indicate symptoms related to facial itching.

Hypersensitivity side effects have included postmarketing reports of a systemic eosinophilic condition. Clinical features of this condition have included a vasculitis consistent with Churg-Strauss syndrome, vasculitic rash, worsening pulmonary symptoms, cardiac complications, and/or neuropathy. These events have usually been associated with a reduction and/or discontinuation of oral corticosteroid therapy following introduction of fluticasone. Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions have been reported including angioedema, rash, face and tongue edema, pruritus, urticaria, bronchospasm, wheezing, dyspnea and anaphylaxis.

Caution should be exercised when transferring a patient maintained on systemic corticosteroids to intranasal fluticasone. Fluticasone does not provide a patient with the systemic steroids necessary for periods of stress, severe asthma attacks or other emergencies. Patients should be tapered from systemic corticosteroids and monitored for signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency.

Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis angioedema, rash, and urticaria, may occur after administration of fluticasone nasal Spray. Discontinue fluticasone nasal spray if such reactions occur.

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects: severe or ongoing nose bleed; sores in the nose that won't heal; vision problems; or fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms. Less serious side effects may include: headache, back pain; minor nose bleed; menstrual problems, loss of interest in sex; sinus pain, cough, sore throat; or sores or white patches inside or around your nose. This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
