Avamys Nasal Spray

If you are pregnant, you should discuss steroid-based treatment for hay fever or other allergies with your GP or pharmacist. They will assess your specific health needs and the medication’s safety during pregnancy. Avamys contains the active ingredient fluticasone, so you should only use it under medical guidance to ensure it is safe for both you and your unborn baby.

Avamys Nasal Spray is not available over the counter and requires a prescription from a healthcare professional.

However, you can buy it over the counter from our online allergy clinic after completing a short consultation with our pharmacists to review the suitability of the treatment for your symptoms and any other medical conditions.
