Flonase rocks! I am already a fatty and because I cut out soda recently expected a weight loss...I could double in size and I would not stop using this product! Luckily I will not need it year round!

I started taking this and have gained over 25 lbs. I weighed the same weight for 40 years and it less than a year gained this much. It definitely helps with my nasal congestion/polyps . I gained 3 inches on my waist, pants don't fit. I have to get jeans at the thrift store because waist keeps changing sizes.
I stopped taking it for a week and dropped weight right away. But, sinus issues got worse. So they trade off right now is taking it. They tell you to tell your Dr if things like this happen, I told mine and he laughed, said it doesn't happen and told me i was eating too much .
Told me, as we age , we get old, bald and fat. Said, since your old and bald, you might as well be fat too.
My friend was put on it and she gained weight instantly also. She stopped it and lost it right away.
SO, YES IT CAUSES WEIGHT GAIN,DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENTLY.

Yes!! I have experienced the same problem as others on this sight....Weight gain. I have only used Flonase for about a week and have gained 5lbs!

I have to agree with many others here. I was on Flonase for a month 3.8.16 to 4.4.16. I gained around 5 lbs. I stopped because it actually hurt my nose (made it sore and sore to breached through). I looked up side effects to see why, and I found that weight gain was a side effect. My face is much fuller than it was in February. 5 lbs can do a lot. My clothes still fit thankfully. I guess I'm glad I had a bad reaction kind of early on.

Notice that you wrote this a year ago. I too have gained 20 pounds and my hair is falling out. I was wondering if your hair sopped falling out and your pounds dropped, once you stopped taking Flonase. How long did it take? Thanks!

I walk 4 miles a day and eat minimal portion of very healthy eating and take Singular in am and flonase and at night another singular for asthma and i cant lose weight while friends who eat worse and exercise less can lose weight?

Did you lose the weight after you dc'd flonase I'm a gym rat as well and in one month using flonase I've gained 7 lbs. And one inch on my gut

I am having the same reaction. My allergies seem much better, but I'm really hungry all the time. I'm just now making the connection - cortico-steroid = hunger, like the steroids the allergist gives me for severe allergies?!?

I gained around ten pounds gradually. It is not rapid gain so I do not worry so much. After using it for a couple years since they become over the counter medicines, my tummy is getting bigger. My doctor would not be very happy to know I would like to stop using it because of my weight gain. I found another option without steroids but it is still prescription. We will see if they will come out just like flonase or nasalcort.

I gained weight fairly quickly in just a couple of months on Flonase. It fixed my chronic sinus problems but unfortunately I had to stop using it because of the weight gain.

I too have what is considered atypical reactions to nasal and inhaled steroids (for allergies and asthma). With any steroid I notice lots of water weight and a soaked sponge like feel in my body. I have gained up to 20 lbs in a month from using them (without a variance to my eating or exercise habits). While a can doctor say it is not typical, I don't believe they can say it absolutely won't happen either.

I have been on flonase for almost one year and have put on 25 lbs. I had no idea it was because of the Flonase but that is the only thing that has changed. I hate the way I look and hate the way I feel from the weight gain. I would rather have my allergies back. I stopped taking the stuff yesterday. I hope it does not take long to get out of my system. The doctor told me the weight gain was due to pre-menopause and to pretty much accept it. no way, I'm done

I googled does Flonase cause weight gain and lo and behold I see I'm not the only one that has gained a significant amount of weight since using it. Like many others I am an exercise freak and could notexplain my weight gain!

I have been on it for almost three years. That in addition to blood pressure meds and menopause has helped add at least 50# to my normal weight. Cannot tolerate not using it. So at night before bedtime,it's Flonase and a breath rite strip. Other wise it's extreme allergies and sinus headaches.Majorly frustrated.I can so understand how you feel!
