Can you, please, tell me what fluticasone propionate is? One kid I am supposed to baby- sit is using this medication. Is this drug dangerous and if is how much? I really need to know what I am dealing with. I suppose that I will need to give it to him and do not know how. Please, help me I am ashamed to ask parents.

Fluticasone propionate is strong corticosteroid. This drug is usually prescribed for asthma problems and allergic rhinitis. Fluticasone propionate is nasal spray. It should be used once a day in children, only in some specific cases it could be increased on twice a day. Therefore, there are very good chance that you would not need to do that. If, somehow you need to give this drug to a child, whatever you do try to avoid eyes!
