I have been started with flonase 4 months ago because of sever nasal congestion caused by allergens that I just can not manage to avoid. Flonase helps me in that way, but at the other side I think that it made me put on weight. Does it really cause weight gain or Im wrong?

Flonase belongs to the class of corticosteroids that are well known by number of side effects. But when administration of preparation is local, side effects are also just local, because there is no absorption. Eventually, very small percent can be absorbed. It is not expected weight gaining as side effect of flonase.

It shouldn't maybe normally cause weight gain, but Flonase warns on their web site if you have rapid weight gain you should contact your doctor as it could be one of the symptoms for Cushing's Disease if you take too much of their medication or if you are "sensitive" to it. Other symptoms would be hair loss, high blood pressure, etc. It is supposed to be pretty rare though from what I've read so hopefully that is not what you would be experiencing but something you would want to be aware.
