(50 mcg of Flonase Nasal Spray propionate each) in
each nostril once daily (total daily dose, 200 mcg).
The same dosage divided into 100 mcg given twice
daily (e.g., 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.) is also effective.
After the first few days, patients may be able to
reduce their dosage to 100 mcg (1 spray in each
nostril) once daily for maintenance therapy. Some

allergic rhinitis may find as-needed use of 200 mcg
once daily effective for symptom control. Greater
