Had been given Flonaise perscription by U.S.Army allergist. Worked ok got bloody nose from it once and a while. used over a period of four years. All of a sudden woke up to the smell of what I thought was acetone aka nail polish remover. This was not the case because we had no nail polish remover in the house. Every thing smelled like acetone, for up to two weeks. I went to see a nurology doctor and had an MRI done worrying about a possible tumor. narrowing things down we concluded it was the Flonaise. I discontinued the drug and still four years later can not smell much of anything. Once in a while I can smell a slight smell for a moment then its gone. I have been using a "Netti Pot and flushing my sinus's out three times a day. I have had no more problems with severe symptoms of rhinitus. Wish I could get my smell back.
