This is what a physician would write on a prescription for the drug Flonase. It says that 15mL volume of Flonase should be sprayed twice to each nostril daily (qd) or twice daily (bid) as needed (prn) to treat sinusitis. Flonase is an nasally inhaled steroid that behaves essentially as a topically applied drug to the sinuses. It is used to decrease inflammation in the nasal passages.
In cases of sinusitis or allergic rhinitis, nasal airway breathing can be improved by using such nasal sprays, as phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine).
Chronic sinusitis is often treated initially with antibiotics. Steroid nasal sprays may be used to decrease swelling in the nasal passages. If an anatomic reason is found for chronic sinusitis, it may need to be corrected with surgery.
No, Flonase is not an MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor); it is a nasal corticosteroid used for nasal inflammation associated with seasonal or chronic allergies, and is also used to prevent recurrence of nasal polyps.
Yes, it does. 80% of all nasal sprays contain antihistamines. Antihistamines are the active ingredient in the medication. Reading the leaflet included with the medication or asking your pharmacist would also provide you with this information.
nostril: orificio nasal; fosa nasal.

Sinusitis is inflammation or infection of the lining of the paranasal sinuses. There are no sinuses in the nasal cavity itself, rather they surround the nose and are joined to the nasal cavity via small orifices called ostia.
No, if there were it would be called clear nasal passages.
Atropine nasal sprays improve rhinorrhea and postnasal drip. Ipratropium bromide nasal spray dilates and relaxes bronchial passageways. These two nasal sprays are not the same, they are used for two completely different medical issues.
Acute and chronic sinusitis are two common para-nasal sinus diseases.
Nasal sprays are used to treat a variety of health issues. The most common use is as a antihistamine to treat allergies. They can also be used as a decongestant to relive blocked nasal passages. Natural nasal sprays such as saline are used to moisturize dry or irritated nostrils.
