Flixonase Allergy Relief 50mcg Nasal 60 Sprays

Flixonase Allergy Relief 50mcg Nasal Spray – 60 Sprays

Flixonase Allergy Relief Nasal Spray is a corticosteroid nasal spray for the prevention and treatment of allergic rhinitis, including hay fever and allergies caused by airborne allergens such as house dust mites and animal dander.

Each spray contains 50 micrograms of fluticasone propionate, which works locally inside the nose to reduce inflammation associated with an allergic reaction.

What Is Flixonase Used For?

Flixonase Allergy Relief can help prevent and relieve nasal allergy symptoms associated with:

• Hay fever and pollen allergies

• House dust mite allergy

• Animal dander and pet allergies

• Other airborne allergens

It helps control symptoms of allergic rhinitis including:

• Blocked or congested nose

• Runny nose

• Sneezing

• Itchy nose

How Does Flixonase Work?

Flixonase contains fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory action.

When sprayed into the nose, it helps reduce the inflammation caused by allergens such as pollen, house dust mites and animal dander.

For best results, Flixonase should be used regularly as directed rather than only when symptoms become troublesome.

How to Use Flixonase Allergy Relief

Adults aged 18 years and over:

The usual starting dose is 2 sprays into each nostril once daily, preferably in the morning.

Once your symptoms are under control, the dose may be reduced to 1 spray into each nostril once daily.

If your symptoms are particularly troublesome, the dose may be increased to 2 sprays into each nostril twice daily, but only for a short period.

Do not use more than 4 sprays in each nostril in 24 hours.

Use only in the nose.

How to Use the Nasal Spray

1. Gently shake the bottle before use.

2. Blow your nose gently.

3. Close one nostril and place the nozzle into the other nostril.

4. Breathe in gently through your nose while pressing the spray.

5. Breathe out through your mouth.

6. Repeat as required according to your dose.

7. Repeat in the other nostril.

8. Wipe the nozzle after use and replace the cap.

Always read the enclosed patient information leaflet before using Flixonase for the first time, including the instructions for preparing and cleaning the spray.

How Quickly Does Flixonase Work?

Flixonase needs to be used regularly to achieve the best control of your allergy symptoms.

It may take 3–4 days to build up to maximum protection, so don't be concerned if you don't experience the full benefit immediately.

If your symptoms have not improved after 7 days, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.

Does Flixonase Cause Drowsiness?

Flixonase is a nasal corticosteroid rather than a sedating antihistamine and is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machinery.

This can make a nasal spray a useful option for people looking to manage allergic rhinitis without relying solely on oral antihistamines.
