Consult your ophthalmologist before using Flonase eye drops, especially if you have pre-existing eye conditions or are taking other medications. This ensures safe and appropriate usage.
Flonase eye drops contain fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation. This makes them suitable for treating allergic conjunctivitis, characterized by itchy, watery, and red eyes.
The typical dosage involves one drop in each affected eye twice daily. Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and duration. Never exceed the recommended dose.
Common side effects include burning, stinging, or temporary blurry vision upon application. These usually subside quickly. More serious side effects are rare but include increased eye pressure and cataracts. Report any unusual symptoms immediately.
Proper storage is key. Keep the bottle tightly closed and at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Discard the bottle after the expiration date.
Do not use Flonase eye drops if you are allergic to fluticasone propionate or any other ingredient in the formulation. Check the label carefully.
For best results, gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a pocket and instill the drop into this space. Close your eyes for about a minute afterward to allow the medication to disperse.
Flonase eye drops are not a substitute for other eye treatments. Always use them as part of a complete treatment plan, as directed by your healthcare provider.
If you experience persistent or worsening symptoms despite using Flonase eye drops, seek immediate medical attention.
