Is flonase the same as fluticasone?

Yes—Flonase is a brand name for a nasal spray that contains the drug fluticasone, which is an intranasal corticosteroid used for allergic rhinitis.

A couple of nuances:
- The classic Flonase nasal spray uses fluticasone propionate.
- There is also Flonase Sensimist, which uses fluticasone furoate. They’re different salt forms and have slightly different spray characteristics, but both are used for similar allergy symptoms.

If you’re unsure which product you have or how to use it, check the package insert or ask a pharmacist/doctor. Also, tell me if you’re asking about a specific product or if you have other questions (age, pregnancy, side effects, etc.).
