Insert information on Flonase

In clinical studies with fluticasone proplonate (flonase)

administered intraasally, the development of localized infections of

the nose and pharynx with Candida albicans has occurred. When such

an infection develops, it may require treatment with appropriate

local therapy and discontinuation of treatment with Flonase Nasal

Spray. Patients using Flonase Nasal Spray over several months or

longer should be examined periodically for evidence of Candida

infection or other signs of adverse effects on the nasal mucosa.

Flonase Nasal Spray should be used with caution. If at all, in

patients with active or quiescent tuberculous infection; untreated

local or systemic fungal or bacterial, or systemic viral infections

or in parastic infection; or ocular herpes simples.

Because of the inhibitory effect of corticosteroids on wound

healing, patients who have experienced recent nasal septal ulcers,

nasal surgery, nasal trauma should not use nasal corticosteroid

until healinghas occurred.
