“Flonase could be causing jaundice”
I am taking Flonase (inhaled) to calm down my allergies during the weekdays, and ive noticed my eyes seem yellow as of recently, and its the only thing i can think of that could be causing this. ive been taking flonase for about 4 months, and ive noticed my eyes being yellow for about half a month now. i dont drink nor do i smoke. i used to have bad asthma when i was younger, but it seems to have toned down these days. please help me, thanks.

You should be checked by the doctor for conditions that may cause jaundice, including liver function tests.
Stop taking Flonase, switch to oral antihistamines. Use nasal saline wash and observe if yellow color of your eyes disappears.

You need to see a Dr. Having yellowing of the whites of your eyes is serious, even life threatening.
It is unlikely that flonase is causing jaundice, See your primary care doctor to look for the cause.
