Flixonase Nasal Spray

What is Flixonase Nasal Spray for?

Flixonase Aqueous Nasal Spray is a popular and effective corticosteroid treatment to prevent allergic rhinitis and perennial rhinitis. These conditions cause frustrating symptoms such as watery eyes, a runny or blocked nose, sneezing, etc. However, Flixonase Spray brings a rapid relief and prevention of these symptoms.

How does Flixonase Nasal Spray work?

The active ingredient in Flixonase Nasal Spray, Fluticasone Propionate, is a powerful corticosteroid (steroid for short) which has an effective anti-inflammatory action. The tiny amounts sprayed into your nose help to reduce swelling and irritation. Fluticasone Propionate should not be confused with anabolic steroids misused by some athletes and taken as tablets or injection.

You can buy Flixonase Spray to prevent and treat seasonal allergic rhinitis (e.g. hay fever) and perennial rhinitis. When you have rhinitis, the inside of your nose becomes swollen and itchy. This often occurs during the early summer when it is caused by breathing in pollens from grasses or trees. Some people get problems all the year round and this is called perennial rhinitis.

It is often due to house dust mites or animals such as cats or dogs. When you spray Flixonase into your nose, it helps to relieve the itching, sneezing and blocked or runny nose.

How to use Flixonase Nasal Spray

When you buy Flixonase Nasal Spray online, follow the instructions in the manufacturer’s Patient Information Leaflet (PIL).

These instructions state for use in adults:

• The usual starting dose is 2 sprays into each nostril ONCE daily, preferably in the morning.
• Your doctor may advise you to increase this to a maximum of 2 sprays TWICE daily.
• As your symptoms become better, your doctor may advise you to use a lower dose of 1 spray into each nostril ONCE a day. If your symptoms get worse again, your dose may be increased back again to the starting dose.
• DO NOT take a larger dose or use your nasal spray more often than your doctor advises.
• It takes a few days for this medicine to work and it is VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU USE IT REGULARLY. DO NOT STOP TREATMENT even if you feel better, unless told to do so by your doctor.
• If you also have itchy, watery eyes, you should tell your doctor. He or she may give you an extra medicine to treat your eyes. Be careful not to confuse them, particularly if the second medicine is eye drops.
