Using fluticasone nasal spray and drops with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand names: Flixonase, Avamys, Nasofan

Cautions with other medicines

Some medicines and fluticasone can affect each other. This can increase your chance of side effects. It may mean you need to change your dose of fluticasone.

Check with a pharmacist or your doctor if you're taking:

  • medicines used to treat HIV, such as ritonavir or cobicistat
  • medicines used to treat fungal infections, such as ketoconazole or itraconazole
  • other medicines that contain steroids, such as eczema creams, asthma inhalers, steroid tablets, injections, other nasal sprays and drops, or eye drops

Mixing fluticasone nasal spray and drops with herbal remedies and supplements

There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take while using fluticasone nasal spray and drops. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
