Flomist Nasal Spray contains fluticasone propionate (50 mcg), which works in the body in the following ways:

• Anti-inflammatory effects: Fluticasone propionate is a synthetic trifluorinated glucocorticoid that has potent anti-inflammatory properties when used intranasally. This means it helps to reduce inflammation or swelling.

• Inhibition of cells and mediators: The medicine inhibits multiple cell types and mediators involved in allergic and non-allergic inflammation. This includes cells such as mast cells, eosinophils, T-lymphocytes, macrophages and substances called cytokines.

• Reduction of symptoms: By reducing inflammation and inhibiting these cells and mediators, fluticasone propionate effectively reduces nasal swelling, mucus production and related symptoms.

• Store Flomist Nasal Spray below 30°C in a cool, dry place.

• Protect it from light to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.

• Ensure to keep it out of reach of children for safety reasons.

• Use the spray before its expiry date for best results.

• If you're suffering from allergic reactions triggering your rhinitis, try to avoid exposure to allergens like dust, animal dander, or specific pollens that may worsen your symptoms.

• Maintaining a clean home environment, especially your bedroom, can help manage your condition. Regularly change bedding, vacuum and clean surfaces to reduce allergen levels.
