Both I and my mother have experienced significant bloating and weight gain since taking Flonase. This is despite reducing caloric intake and increased exercise.

Wow. I totally will stop this tomorrow though I feel much better. As a borderline anorexic I rather be laden with sinusitis than gain a pound from. Medicine if all things I mean my goodness it's not like eating something good. It's a fresking medicine. Nope I will stop it tomorrow and just suffer take Advil and use Neti pot so glad I read up on this weight gaining rx

Lord I'm so glad I read this article. I gained weight from taking prednisone. Was finally off of that and still no weight loss. Read this article about Flonase been on this since Nov.
Even got on weight loss pills nothing lost. Well today is the last day of taking Flonase. I have to get these pounds off of me. I will try Claritin or Zyrtec they do not have steroids in them.

That is not true. I have to stop Fluticasone. I took it for almos 5 months. I eat very healthy, mainly vegetables and I do go to the gym three times a week. When I stop using it because I had an inexplicable gaing weight and my left eye pressure was high, then I have developed anxiety. There are many side effects not mentioned. Be careful using steroids nasal spray.

I noticed I was hungry & wanting to snack alot. I did not want weight gain, decided to use pure saline instead.

Started taking Flonase on Monday, April 2; weight 153lbs. Stopped taking Flonase Monday, April 9; weight 158.5lbs. A one week gain of 5.5lbs. Couldn't figure out why my belly started expanding and pants felt tighter around my thighs. I'm not a big guy, so packing on almost 6lbs in a week is very noticeable. The only change to my life was taking this medication; my diet and exercise remained the same. No more Flonase for me.

I have also gained weight. About 8 lbs in 6 weeks. Got off a few days ago. Praying symptoms of dizziness due to eustation tube dysfunction doesn't return. Don't know what I'd do..

I have been takig Flonase everyday for the last few weeks and I've been noticing weight gain as well, despite working out and eating well. I am going to stop taking it and see if that helps.

Me too!! Done taking it! I didn't even think about it when I started taking the stuff that it could cause weight gain. I'm sure glad I'm not the only one. I thought I was going crazy.

My 13 year old son has been using this about a month. It has caused SIGNIFICANT weight gain. He is not eating anywhere near enough for this effect. It says right on the precautions that it can cause slowing of growth.

I have also gained about 15 pounds since taking this medication as directed and I am about 5 ft 2 in and always a fitness person . I am also one who has had many steroid injections for a back injury and I take steroids every summer and fall for sinus issues due to my asthma acting up from them. Maybe I have had too many steroids since 2014 and have come down with Cushings but I am stopping the flonase and see what happens. I eat healthy every day ..salads daily, no red meat, and lean proteins in veggies and fruits , no soda or juice. So it is not a lifestyle thing for me , just so everyone knows you can eat healthy and exercise and some medications , no matter how small the dose can cause an issue for you and your health.
