Also, it should be pointed out, that there are several brands of these steroid nasal sprays. Most doctors will say there is very little difference between them, they are all about the same. (In spite of the advertising claiming that their brand is much better than the others!) (Whatever happened to "truth in advertising" laws? I think they went out during the Reagan administration. A shame really. Lying is rampant in advertising these days!) (And, due to being advertised more than the others, Flonase is probably the most well-known of the steroid nasal sprays. That doesn't make it better though.)
I don't know if the prices are also all about the same, or whether there are price differences between the different steroid nasal sprays done. It isn't an issue for me, as I have a good prescription plan. But if I had to pay myself, I certainly would investigate the prices of the different brands.

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
