Fluticasone is used to treat seasonal and year-round allergy symptoms such as stuffy/runny nose, itching, and sneezing. It may also reduce other symptoms of seasonal allergies such as red, itchy, and watery eyes. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works by reducing swelling (inflammation) in the nasal passages.
Nosebleeds or sores in the nose may occur. If either of these effects persists or worsens, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.

Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: signs of nasal damage (such as pain, severe nosebleeds, a constant whistling sound from your nose), facial pain, eye pain, white patches in your nose/back of your throat, painful swallowing, persistent sore throat. Rarely, it is possible that corticosteroids given in the nose will be absorbed into the bloodstream. This can lead to side effects of too much corticosteroid. These side effects are more likely in children and people who use this medication for a long time and in high doses.
