Flixonase

Description

Flixonase is a nasal spray that contains fluticasone propionate as its active ingredient. It works by reducing inflammation in your nasal passages, helping to relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, and runny nose caused by allergies like hay fever or perennial allergic rhinitis. Flixonase is suitable for adults and children over 4 years old who suffer from these allergy symptoms.

Dosage and usage

For adults and children over 12 years old, the usual dose is two sprays into each nostril once daily. For children aged 4-11 years, the recommended dose is one spray into each nostril once daily. It's important not to exceed the recommended dose. If you forget a dose, just take it when you remember unless it's nearly time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose. The effects of Flixonase can last up to 24 hours. If you experience nosebleeds, nasal ulceration, or your symptoms do not improve after using Flixonase for a few days, consult your doctor.
