Flixonase Nasal Spray 150 Metered Sprays
Flixonase Nasal Spray 150 metered sprays.
Flixonase is an aqueous nasal spray that is used to effectively treat and prevent allergic rhinitis.
The active ingredient in Flixonase spray is a corticosteroid (a steroid) called fluticasone propionate, which has anti-inflammatory action. This effectively treats both seasonal and year-round allergies by reducing inflammation and symptoms.
What is Flixonase used for?
Flixonase nasal spray is used to treat both seasonal and year-round allergies (known as allergic rhinitis), including hay fever.
Allergic rhinitis is not curable. However, its symptoms can be effectively managed with the appropriate treatment. Using steroid nasal sprays, like Flixonase, inhibits the immune system’s inflammatory response to allergens. This action prevents allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itchiness and a blocked or runny nose from developing.
Allergic rhinitis is caused by a hypersensitive immune system. When a harmless allergen enters the nasal passage, the immune system rejects it, believing the allergen to be a dangerous invader, such as a virus. To guard against this phantom infection, the body will start to produce excess mucus.
Allergens most likely to trigger a bout of allergic rhinitis are pollen, pet fur, dust mites, and mould spores.
Unlike other allergy nasal sprays, Flixonase spray can also help to relieve eye-related allergy symptoms.
Flixonase nasal spray will take a few days to achieve its full effect. If possible, you should start treatment a few days before you expect to come into contact with allergens such as pollen.
Does Flixonase work?
Yes, Flixonase nasal spray does work to effectively treat and prevent allergic rhinitis.
Flixonase (which contains a powerful anti-inflammatory corticosteroid) works by reducing swelling and irritation in your nose. This helps to relieve uncomfortable or frustrating allergy symptoms, such as a stuffy, runny or itchy nose, sneezing, and eye-related allergy symptoms like watery, itchy or red eyes.
It is worth noting that you need to use Flixonase regularly for it to work, so ensure that you follow the course of treatment exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has recommended. If you are unsure, you can speak to one of our team members or look at the Patient Information Leaflet included with your medicine.
