About Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray

Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray, branded as NASAL FLUTICATONE, is a medication used to treat various nasal symptoms. These symptoms, including congestion, sneezing, and runny nose, are commonly associated with seasonal allergies or perennial allergic rhinitis. Fluticasone Furoate is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the nasal passages, providing relief from allergy symptoms.

How Does Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray Work?

Fluticasone Furoate works by targeting the underlying inflammation in the nasal passages. As a corticosteroid, it inhibits multiple inflammatory substances, such as cytokines, histamines, and leukotrienes. By reducing the activity of these substances, Fluticasone Furoate decreases swelling and irritation in the nasal passages, alleviating allergy symptoms and improving breathing.

Mechanism of Action

• Anti-inflammatory Effects: Fluticasone Furoate reduces inflammation by suppressing the release of inflammatory mediators.
• Immune Response Modulation: It modulates the body's immune response to allergens, preventing excessive reactions that cause symptoms.
• Nasal Congestion Relief: By reducing swelling in the nasal passages, it helps open up the airways, providing relief from congestion.
