Flovent and bloody nose?

[Guest guest]

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing as me with Flovent use. I notice that since I started using it that my one nostril " bleeds " alot. I don't mean that I have an actual nose bleed, just alot of blood in the nostril that " cakes " inside. It does become a little uncomfortable and I cough up a good deal of bloody phelgm. If this is just a side-effect I can put up with it, though, much better putting up this side-effect than not using it at all!

I have been using Flovent for over 2 years. For the past 6 months, I

have been on the 220 dose, although previously I used the 110. I

have not had any of the problems you described.

Do you live in a very dry climate? Dryness can cause problems with

bloody nose. As to coughing up bloody phlemg, that sounds bad. I

would definately see your doctor about that. Usually blood indicates

something more serious, in my experience.

I use Flovent 120 doses (125 mcg) and have had no problems with bloody

nose or anything like that.

Coughing up blood is very, very bad. Get to a doctor ASAP.
