More potent than medrol? Perhaps you mean if both were applied the same way.
I think most people who have tried both (topical steroid sprays and oral
prednisone-type steroid tablets), have had much better results with the
latter.

Of course, the problem with the latter is--you cannot use them long-term,
without serious negative consequences, while the sprays are used long-term.
But the oral steroids are more effective.

Flonase is a topical corticosteroid.  It's more potent than
methylprednisolone, but since it's topical the side effects are few.

I used it for a long time.

The package insert that comes inside the box should tell you all you
need to know about it.  Or else, go here:

OK so I went to an allergist and was diagnosed with being allergic to Cats
(which was obvious) and mold.  Mold is everywhere, especially the stuff they
tested for which is what you would find in grass.

I was prescribed Flonase and would like to know what you all think of this
drug?

I am also wondering how this drug works, I checked the website and it
basically says nothing about it.

Thanks,

Steve
