How Flixonase Nasal Spray Works

Flixonase Nasal Spray contains 50mcg per spray of a corticosteroid called fluticasone propionate, which reduces inflammation. It works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages. This helps alleviate symptoms of nasal allergies, including itching, sneezing, and congestion. Regular use helps control these symptoms effectively.

Flixonase Nasal Spray Dosage

The maximum recommended dosage for Flixonase Aqueous Nasal Spray in adults is two sprays into each nostril once a day. It’s important to continue using the spray as directed, even if you start to feel better, as stopping it may cause your symptoms to return. Under guidance from a GP, you may reduce your dose to one spray into each nostril to maintain symptom control while using the minimum dose.

Who Can Use Flixonase Nasal Spray?

Flixonase is a prescription-only steroid nasal spray that is suitable for adults who suffer from allergic rhinitis caused by hay fever or year-round allergies. However, it should not be used by individuals who:

• Are allergic to fluticasone propionate or any other ingredients in the spray.
• Have a perforated eardrum or have had recent nasal surgery or injury.
• Have untreated infections in the nose.

Before using Flixonase Aqueous Nasal Spray, consult with a GP or pharmacist if you have had long-term steroid treatment, are taking antiviral medications like ritonavir or cobicistat, or are taking antifungal medications like ketoconazole.

How To Take Flixonase Nasal Spray

For effective use, follow these instructions carefully:

• Shake the bottle well and remove the dust cap.
• Blow your nose gently.
• Close one nostril with a finger, insert the nozzle into the other nostril and tilt your head slightly forward.
• Breathe in slowly through your nose and press down firmly on the collar to release a spray.
• Breathe out through your mouth.
• Repeat the steps for the other nostril.
• After use, wipe the nozzle and replace the dust cap.

The usual Flixonase Nasal Spray dosage for adults is 2 sprays into each nostril once per day, preferably in the morning. The maximum daily dose is 4 sprays per nostril. Once symptoms improve, the dose may be reduced to 1 spray in each nostril once a day, which is the lowest dose at which effective allergy relief is possible.

Clean the spray nozzle once a week by soaking it in warm water, rinsing it, and letting it dry before use.
