What are Flonase’s active and inactive ingredients?
Flonase (fluticasone propionate) contains the corticosteroid fluticasone propionate as its active ingredient. [1]
The exact inactive ingredients depend on which Flonase product and formulation you have (for example, Flonase Allergy Relief spray vs. Flonase Sensimist), because the preservative system and carrier components can change by product. To give the correct inactive-ingredient list, you’ll need the product name from your label (and whether it is a nasal spray, nasal suspension, or “Sensimist”). [1]
Which Flonase product do you have (to get the right ingredient list)?
Look for the front label and confirm:
- Flonase Allergy Relief vs Flonase Sensimist
- The strength (often shown as 50 mcg per spray, depending on product)
- Any wording like “nasal spray” or “nasal suspension”
If you tell me the exact product name (and strength) shown on your box/bottle, I can map it to the matching active and inactive ingredient list from the prescribing information. [1]
Why the inactive ingredients matter
Inactive ingredients can affect:
- Sensitivity or allergies to excipients (like certain preservatives or flavoring-related components)
- Suitability for people who avoid specific chemicals
- Product-to-product differences even when the active ingredient is the same (fluticasone propionate). [1]
Where to verify on your specific bottle/box
For the most accurate list, check the “Inactive Ingredients” section on your specific Flonase packaging or in the official prescribing information tied to that exact product. [1]
