Flomist 50 mcg

Flomist Nasal Spray is used for the control of symptoms of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, a condition in which the lining of the nose swells and releases fluid that results in a stuffy and runny nose. Each spray delivers Fluticasone Propionate IP 50 mcg. The bottle contains 100 metered doses.

Flomist Nasal Spray contains Fluticasone Propionate which is a synthetic steroid of the glucocorticoid family of drugs that is used for treating allergic conditions involving the nose. Fluticasone mimics the naturally-occurring hormone produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol or hydrocortisone. The exact mechanism of action of fluticasone is unknown. Fluticasone has potent anti-inflammatory actions. It is believed that fluticasone exerts its beneficial effects by inhibiting several types of cells and chemicals involved in allergic, immune and inflammatory responses. When used as a nasal inhaler or spray, the medication goes directly to the lining within the nose, and very little is absorbed into the rest of the body.
