Reply to comment by jdippey in why is Flonase supposed to be taken only for 6 months per year? by risingstanding

Yeah it’s definitely very unlikely, but definitely something to consider and to mention.

Plus OP just asked a question and I gave them the most logical answer, whether anyone actually got it is something I don’t know.

So then why mention it? Adrenal insufficiency isn’t listed as a side effect of Flonase use, mentioning this may cause readers to avoid using the drug altogether (out of fear) when they could actually benefit from using it.

I don’t understand what you mean. Corticosteroids can cause adrenal insufficiency in the long term. Overdosage of Flonase can cause it.

People should be wary of what they intake and should seek professional help on whether they should be taking such medication for such prolonged time. OP was curious and I gave him the answer.

However they interpret my answer is up to them.

Edit: also if you search it on google you’ll see that the is indeed happened before from taking too much of Flonase.
