What If I Take an Overdose of Flonase?

In most instances, a Flonase overdose is unlikely to cause serious problems. Even using an entire bottle at once is not likely to cause serious overdose symptoms. However, using too much Flonase over a long period of time may cause problems.

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose of Flonase?

If you forget to take your Flonase dose, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose of Flonase.
