Is flonase a decongestant

Flonase is not a decongestant; it is a nasal corticosteroid spray that helps reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. It is used to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. While it can alleviate nasal congestion, it does so by addressing the underlying inflammation rather than directly constricting blood vessels like traditional decongestants do.
