Dymista is a nasal spray that contains two active ingredients, fluticasone and azelastine. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in your nasal passages, while azelastine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine to relieve symptoms like sneezing and itching. This combination helps to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Dymista is suitable for adults and children over 12 years old who need relief from seasonal or perennial allergies.
