Furamist (fluticasone) nasal spray and Allegra M (fexofenadine and montelukast) is safe. The steroid in Furamist acts locally in your nose with very minimal absorption into the rest of your body, meaning it does not carry the same risk for serious fungal infections as oral steroids. Allegra M is not a steroid at all and will safely help ease your post-nasal drip. You can use these as prescribed, but always keep your doctor updated on your progress.
