If you're taking a prescription spray, do not stop using it unless the doctor advises you to do so. Side effects of steroid nasal sprays In an interaction study in healthy subjects with intranasal fluticasone propionate, ritonavir (a highly potent cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitor) 100 mg b.i.d. increased the fluticasone propionate plasma concentrations several hundred fold, resulting in markedly reduced serum cortisol concentrations.

Cases of Cushing's syndrome and adrenal suppression have been reported. Although not studied, concomitant use of intranasal fluticasone and cobicistat-containing regimens for the treatment of HIV may increase plasma concentrations of fluticasone and result in reduced serum cortisol concentrations.The combination of fluticasone and potent P450 3A4 inhibitors should be avoided unless the benefit outweighs the increased risk of systemic glucocorticoid side-effects. Pirinase is an intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) containing fluticasone propionate. This has an anti-inflammatory action and works in a similar way to natural body chemicals to control inflammation.

Pirinase helps to relieve allergy symptoms for up to 24 hours. It can also help to prevent the return of symptoms during the day. Pirinase has a direct action to relieve allergy symptoms where they start. If your symptoms last for more than seven days despite using Pirinase, get medical advice from your doctor. Metabolism: Fluticasone propionate is cleared rapidly from the systemic circulation, principally by hepatic metabolism to an inactive carboxylic acid metabolite, by the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A4. Swallowed fluticasone propionate is also subject to extensive first pass metabolism. Care should be taken when co-administering potent CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole and ritonavir as there is potential for increased systemic exposure to fluticasone propionate. Accidentally using too much steroid nasal spray is unlikely to be harmful. Speak to a pharmacist or doctor if you're worried.
