What is Flixonase nasal spray?

The active anti-inflammatory ingredient, Fluticasone is also used to treat other conditions such as:

• Asthma (Flixotide Inhaler)
• Exzema (Fluticasone cream)

You must have a prescription to buy Flixonase. It can be taken by adults and children over the age of 4.

What is Flixonase used to treat?

Flixonase is a steroid nasal treatment for hay fever. It is used as a preventative measure and a treatment for:

• The inflammation in the lining of your nose that is caused by allergic rhinitis.
• The inflammation in the lining of your nose due to year-round allergy triggers, such as dust or animal fur.

Allergic rhinitis is a condition that affects 20% of people in the UK, of all ages. Allergic rhinitis is when a harmless allergen enters your nasal passage and the immune system reacts to it believing it is a dangerous invader. Your body believes that this allergen is something harmful, like an infection, so it begins to produce excessive amounts of mucus, which triggers the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as itching, sneezing or a sore nose or throat.

Currently, there is no cure for allergic rhinitis, but you can properly manage your symptoms with medical treatment.

Why is Flixonase nasal spray reommended for hay fever?

Fluticasone propionate has been clinically tested and shown to be a highly effective treatment for the symptoms of hay fever.

Flixonase can be used by children and adults, and can be used more than once a day if required.

How does Flixonase work?

Flixonase inhibits your immune system's inflammatory response to allergens, helping to stop the symptoms from developing.

This nasal spray contains the active ingredient fluticasone propionate, which is a steroid medicine that works to treat allergic rhinitis in three ways:

• It reduces inflammation
• It reduces swelling and irritation in the nose
• It helps to relive itching, sneezing and soreness in your nose, as well as treat a blocked or runny nose.

Flixonase alternatives

There is no cure for allergic rhinitis, but antihistamine medicines like Levocetirizine or Desloratadine can work to significantly reduce the symptoms. Antihistamines block the production of histamine, which your body produces to fight off infections and other issues. Antihistamines provide comprehensive treatment for allergies and allow you to get on with your day without being hindered by symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Dymista nasal spray is another medicine that contains the exact same active ingredient, fluticasone proprionate.

Other corticosteroid nasal sprays are also available from Medicine Direct, such as Beclometasone. This spray relieves hay fever symptoms in the same ways as Flixonase and can be ordered after an online consultation form has been filled out.
