Flonase Sensimist

Flonase Sensimist is Fluticasone furoate and is now available over the counter without a prescription. Should this page be edited to reflect this? 66.102.196.60 (talk) 08:22, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Molecular Weight

The molecular weight of this molecule is wrong, or at least it is wrong in comparison to its close relative flonase. If we compare the composition of the two, flonase is listed as C25H31F3O5S (weight of 500.57 g/mol), and veramyst is listed as C27H29F3O6S (weight of 444.508). However we see that veramyst should be the heavier of the two, as it has gained 2 carbon atoms, 1 oxygen atom, and lost two hyrdogens. Hence veramyst should be about 38 g/mol heavier than flonase.

Yup, flonase was wrong. Fixed per its formula. DMacks (talk) 15:34, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion with Fluticasone Propionate

Due to its name, Fluticasone Propionate is easily confused with Fluticasone Furoate. There is an argument that the latter is far superior to the former, although they are both used for treating allergic rhinitis and often substitute one another because of confusion resulting from the name similarity. See this paper for mentioned argument:

“Fluticasone furoate/fluticasone propionate – different drugs with different properties”, Clin Respir J. 2011 July; 5(3): 183–184, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3147057/

Perhaps something should be added in the article regarding the name confusion and the different properties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.152.7.229 (talk) 21:09, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Came here to say the same especially since the article mentions Advair diskus which is fluticasone propionate. 73.137.41.29 (talk) 02:52, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
