I have been favoring Rhinocort AQ but I am not sure that I see a significant
difference. I don't see patients, "oh since I used Rhinonocort AQ I feel
wonderful" Its not like when persons using benzalkonium saline switch to
saline that is free of bzk. Then they ho longer get the burning, etc.

Both have preservatives and alcohol in them: brand name flonase had
"masking perfume": nasonex is now scent free. Hypothetically nasonex
is less bioavailable as a steroid. I used to use flonase, and liked
it, but my allergist prefers rhinocort AQ because it has no
benzylchonium chloride/scent/alcohol.
The generic option is really nice for co-pays.

I've used them both and find them equally effective. Flonase is out in a
generic form now so if cost/insurance is an issue...
