Suggest Medicines For Severe Rhinitis

2 nd Nov. 2014 Dear Sir, I am suffering from BPH . All test shows O.K. ( PSA—0.86ng/ml , Serum Creatinine –0.7mg/dl ) except enlargement of Prostate i.e. 50x34x37mm, Volume 32 cc and Post void residual urine is 15 cc . In this connection Doctor has advised me to take only FLOTRAL D . I am taking one Tab ( Flotral + Dutasteride) daily this medicine for the last two months but suffering from severe rhinitis ( stuffy nose + Nasal Congestion + Sinus ) due to its side effect . I have discussed this problem with Doctor and he has expressed inability to deal with this problem because one can not use decongestant with this medicines otherwise good effect of FLOTRAL D will be reduced. As such I had consulted with ENT specialist but he also suggested not to take decongestant but advised me to use only Noseclear ( Saline Nasal Spray) Drop. I am using this Drop but this Saline Nasal Spray is also not helping me effectively. Can you suggest any medicine which can solve my Nose (blocked / breathing) problem with out having clash with FLOTRAL D ? OR can I stop using FLORAL due to its Side bad effect and can continue only with Dutasteride which actually reduce the size of Prostate . F. Y. I. : My Uroflowmetry test shows followings :-- Voided Volume : 0923 ml / Max Flow Rate : 020.0ml/Sec. / Average flow rate : 011.9 ml / Sec. / Flow Time : 077.2 Sec. / Time to max. flow : 028.4 Sec. / Voiding Time : 077.2 Sec. / Hesitancy : 00.00 Sec. Please advise . Best Regards, Gurmit Singh Kakkar YYYY@YYYY

hi
just saline drops will not help u,
they can clear dust and allow air to enter nose .
if u have sneezing and history of allergic rhinitis,
u can use mometasone nasal spray.
this has no systemic side effects .
u can use this spray one puff in each nostril twice daily .
I find this answer helpful
