Fluticasone propionate

Fluticasone propionate is a potent corticosteroid used in various forms (nasal spray, inhaler, cream/ointment) to reduce inflammation for conditions like asthma, COPD, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), nasal polyps, and skin issues (eczema, dermatitis) by blocking inflammatory substances, offering relief from itching, swelling, sneezing, and breathing difficulty. Common brand names include Flonase (nasal) and Flovent (inhaler), and while effective, long-term use can have risks like growth slowing in children or increased risk of cataracts/osteoporosis, requiring careful monitoring.
