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.

For the general audience, I pointed out in another thread, to use clean (distilled, RO) water (tap water in certain regions is gross, even for ingestion), and for the folks that take good things to worse excess, stop saline washes when swelling is in control, since the nasal/windpipe mucus coating is part of the filtration (bio sticky-trap) for airborne nasties, else messes with lung sacs (I keep telling CA to double-mask/close-windows during fire-season smoke ... 2 months later dusting/walking around their house, exposed again).
I used to need antibiotics all the time for secondary bacterial infections. Snorting clean saline up my nose, verify it drains down back of tongue, and deep saline gargles to rid of cough irritation from PND-burned throat, guaifenesin and _plenty of fluids for productive clearing. No cough suppressants, no combo OTC pills, once I understand what's what and its consequences, and where I can interdict, the rest is ... rest. (o, and did I mention fluids?)
If PND (rhinorrhea?) is controlled / absent, are histamines also responsible for some of the inflammation that a corticosteroid can't address? My default antihistamine is Loratadine, but only taken if my nose is pouring. I will compare to azelastine, since it sounds quicker and less systemic exposure than a pill.
Should I add a antihistamine for a situation of inflammation, and how would I know the situation where Flonase no longer helps? TIA!
Edit: oops, if I may - can/should I do anything for the swelling of the _upper nasal passages/chambers? Guess we don't want to go saline-headstanding, using liquids near the eye path? Do (flonase) sprays get there, or just pills, or are the uppers not a concern as much in developing bacterial infections if the lower ones are clear?

Luckily, this product has been helping me a lot.
On the subject of this deal, if you buy 4, and then a couple of dollars worth of filler,(canned corn, peas, etc) that will activate the 20% off stock up and save discount. Then when it offers you subscribe and save, accept that (but set it to 6 months, so you have time to cancel) and it will take another 5% off. That brings the cost down to $9 a pack, or $3 each, which I think is the historical low price. And you've got over a year's worth of this stuff.
Good to see these back at this price!
For those wondering, mine were dated to expire on 5/24
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!

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)

I am an ophthalmologist. I've seen these side effects numerous times in my patients using fluticasone nasal spray. It is scandalous to me that the FDA approved this for OTC use.
