I'm an ENT surgeon so wanted to set some things straight. *this is not medical advice, just general ear nose and throat knowledge.
1) fluticasone spray is a nasal steroid spray that is recommended to be used daily. I try to have patients use it daily for 1 month straight to see if it helps with their allergy symptoms/nasal congestion/turbinate hypertrophy. If it does help, then I keep them on it until the next season when most allergens change with the weather.
2) azelastine is a nasal antihistamine. It works faster than Flonase/fluticasone and does not have to be used everyday to have its effect. Of note, azelastine is different than Afrin / oxymetazoline. Afrin is a decongestant that works very quickly BUT chronic use of it can result in rebound nasal congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa).
Overall, the actual board recommendation is that fluticasone and azelastine combined give the best efficacy with allergic rhinitis and turbinate hypertrophy.
The regimen I commonly trial is nasal saline irrigation (neilmed bottle) then 1 spray of Flonase and 1 spray of azelastine daily for 1 month. Then after that, I try to keep someone on neilmed irrigations since that's non-medicated, and pullback on either of the sprays or make them less frequent.
Hope this helps!
I also suffer from allergies and this winter has been tough! I do saline irrigations every night when I shower and used to use Flonase maybe once a week after the irrigation. This winter though, I've had to up my game. I'm currently doing an irrigation followed by 1 spray of Flonase in each nostril every night and Allegra during the day for maybe 3-4 days out of the week.

I'm sorry that happened. My doc doesn't even want to bother running an allergy panel but he tells me to use this stuff every day. I looked into it when he gave me the samples and decided to just suffer in silence instead. This system is so broken. 😞
My regimen is: 1 spray in the morning + 1 spray at night + Zyrtec pill before bed
Also have an air filter in my room i put on anytime I am home.
The messed up part is anytime i travel out of the zipcode to another state or country I never have allergies there.
Back on topic the costco deal is .60 cheaper per unit.
Not only that but they're actually addictive. It works well at first but the person develops a resistance so you need more and more. If I remember correctly, extended use actually causes the issues you're trying to get rid of (ie you get way worse when you stop taking it). Tread carefully in 10 years these are probably going to be illegal and we'll have documentaries about how people had no idea

I would trust Costco stuff over Amazon any day of the week!
Depends whether it's mild or episodic symptoms during the year or persistent/moderate severe symptoms of allergic rhinitis if that's the diagnosis. For mild, azelastine nasal spray (antihistamine) could provide relief but for moderate/severe or persistent symptoms, Flonase/Nasonex (steroid) is the gold
Standard. Not giving medical advice, but evidence based reasoning if someone starts looking at google or reddit for treating their illness or these forums. Nothing wrong as it's actually might be useful to get insight of how others are Doing as reddit has a greater reach.
But if something that is bothersome as u mentioned, ask a doctor 🤷🏼 ♂️

As usual, always check the source of your meds, even OTC ones. Imported stuff often slips through FDA and certainly not bound by its full oversight.
If a want to venture off, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are said to have good regulation. I would not correlate high market revenue by Germany to it having sound controls. Anyways, I would dig much deeper than that when alternate sourcing.
I would not use this. It can cause cataracts, glaucoma and central serous retinopathy.

SO many incorrect statements on this thread. Of all the wrong ways to google.
Edit: Insult to injury: Guess what doctors recommended as the solution to break the addiction from your old news re Afrin? Yup, a "2nd generation Corticosteroid" such as this product you so bashed.
> I use the Costco brand everyday. At this point I can't live without it. Doesn't this say it doesn't cause ocular issues

Thanks, dealjumpr. I also tried to find _something ocular; none related to this specific _cortico_steroid. Found a long-term study here (probably as a need to address a rumor).
The conditions of this trial makes this even more extreme a test than how we would use a nose spray long-term. These were asthmatic children (ages 7-11); it was _inhaled (atomized into mouth while inhaling), _not sprayed into affected nasal cavity. Ocular complications? None.

Root word: "male"
Modifier: "FEmale"
Vastly different.
Root word: "steroid"
Modifiers (families):
"Anabolic steroids" (in the news, 90% know the evils)
"Corticosteroids" (10% heard of it - mostly grateful parents, avoiding emergency rooms at 3am with a blue kid, now on preventive maintenance)
"2nd generation Corticosteroids" (Say What? OTC? Some _more effective than Gen1 for asthmatic maintenance?)
I give up on those that lump anabolic steroids with corticosteroids, especially this product's OTC 2nd gen. _Maybe attempt to google, and try being your own devil's advocate so as to not enforce a predisposition/agenda.
Here's a solid fyi showing corticosteroids are a useful anti-inflammatory _for [pre]glaucoma_ patients. This OD's article isn't verified, but y'kno the drill - take his terms, google at a legit place like pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and crack a book!
https://www.reviewofopt
Cliff Notes: The more potent the Gen1 corticosteroid, the greater the potential to increase IOP (look it up). The trick to get max anti-inflamatory benefits is first take the potents off the list: Dexamethasone, prednisolone, fluoromethalone and hydrocortisone.
Lesson Summary: least damaging to most damaging, ranked:
1. 2nd gen corticosteroid (this product being one)
2. Older corticosteroid
3. Anabolic steroids (synthetic testosterone)

Doesn't this say it doesn't cause ocular issues

We know new users need to take it daily for a couple weeks before it starts working. If they stop cold, most won't get any symptoms (being low-level Gen2), but best to ween off.
There's a video showing the proper way to administer - I was spraying in the wrong direction for a long time, even when I knew where the lower nasal cavities are (duh):
https://youtu.be/tnEre7FHUAQ?t=1
Also lots of vids/tips on efficiently depositing only where it needs to go, procedures to gargle/rinse excess if past to throat / back of tongue, etc. I knew a highly analytical dental hygienist, where I once understood - and forgot - most of her tips with Flonase.
Basically, keep that misting nozzle tip clean of snot, and I'm gtg.

"Here" is unlike most of other SD posts, which have surgical price-performance analysis, carving-out variables that trade-off value, stack coupons to bleed the deal dry.
Here? This thread is akin to, "Don't buy this Honda, cuz the 1963 Corvair's back-end will kill ya- Unsafe at Any Speed."
I'm not a doctor, but others have doctored their statements.
