Does Fluticasone Propionate Conatin Same Ingredients As Nasonex?

I ve used nasonex for years without any side effects or problems. I now have a new spray called Fluticasone Propionate that I haven t used yet. Does this new spray have the same ingredients as Nasonex. I m concerned about using something new. Should I be worried about this new spray?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Nasonex spray contains mometasone furoate. Mometasone furoate and fluticasone propionate belong to similar class of medicines i.e inhalational steroid. So, both have similar effects. You can use fluticasone propionate for similar purpose as mometasone furoate. There is no need to worry.
What is the indication of Nasonex?? Why are you using it??
Bronchial asthma??
Reason of use you have not written here.
Advice
1.     Continue fluticasone propionate as suggested by your doctor
2.     Take high protein diet such as pulses, eggs, meat and cheese to boost your immunity as steroid depresses immunity causing infection
3.     Avoid smoking and dust
4.     Use only the number of sprays your doctor has prescribed
5.     If the spray gets in your eyes or mouth or on your skin, rinse with water
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
