Flomist Nasal Spray

Flomist Nasal Spray is used for the control of symptoms of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, a condition in which the lining of the nose swells and releases fluid that results in a stuffy and runny nose. Each spray delivers Fluticasone Propionate IP 50 mcg. The bottle contains 100 metered doses. Flomist Nasal Spray contains Fluticasone Propionate that is used for treating allergic conditions involving the nose. Fluticasone mimics the naturally-occurring hormone produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol or hydrocortisone. The exact mechanism of action of fluticasone is unknown. Fluticasone has potent anti-inflammatory actions. It is believed that fluticasone exerts its beneficial effects by inhibiting several types of cells and chemicals involved in allergic, immune and inflammatory responses. When used as a nasal inhaler or spray, the medication goes directly to the lining within the nose, and very little is absorbed into the rest of the body. The possible side effects of Flomist Nasal Spray are headache, throat infection, nasal irritation, sneezing, cough, nausea, vomiting, andnosebleeds. Hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash, itching, facial swelling, and anaphylaxis may occur. Some children may experience growth suppression when using fluticasone. Flomist Nasal Spray should be used during pregnancy and while breastfeeding only when it is absolutely necessary. Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. Store Flomist Nasal Spray at room temperature.
