¿Se puede usar Flonase, el spray nasal para alergias, el spray nasal salino, o la irrigación nasal antes de administrar una prueba rápida de COVID-19 o cambiarán mis resultados?
Infection and Spread Posts en Español Testing and Contact Tracing
Aparna Kumar, PhD CRNP MPH
No hay evidencia de que usar el spray nasal cambiará los resultados de su prueba. 🧪Las pruebas rápidas de COVID-19 son positivas cuando detectan una gran cantidad de la proteína que está presente en SARS CoV-2 en sus orificios nasales.

Is it OK to use Flonase, allergy sprays, saline mist, or neti pots before I take a COVID-19 rapid test or will it change my results?
Infection and Spread Testing and Contact Tracing
Aparna Kumar, PhD CRNP MPH
The answer: There is no evidence that using a nose spray will alter your test results. TL; DR: The SARS CoV-2 rapid antigen tests (aka COVID-19 rapid tests) become positive if they find a lot of the protein that that comes from SARS CoV-2. It is not likely that allergy sprays would change the amount …
