About Avamys Nasal Spray

Avamys Nasal Spray belongs to the class of corticosteroid medication. It is indicated for managing the nasal symptoms of seasonal, perennial allergic and non-allergic rhinitis in adult and paediatric patients aged four years and older. Seasonal allergies are caused by exposure to airborne substances (such as pollens) that are only present at specific seasons of the year. Perennial allergies are caused by year-round indoor exposure to airborne pollutants (such as house dust). Perennial non-allergic rhinitis, also known as vasomotor rhinitis, is a chronic illness characterised by symptoms similar to allergic rhinitis (runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, and nasal itching) but lasting for more than nine months each year.

Avamys Nasal Spray contains fluticasone. Fluticasone works by inhibiting the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, it provides relief from a blocked or runny nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes and an itchy nose.

Avamys Nasal Spray is available on prescription only. Avamys Nasal Spray must be taken as directed by the healthcare professional or as per leaflet information to get the maximum benefit of Avamys Nasal Spray. With Avamys Nasal Spray, very little medicine is absorbed into the rest of the body, so it's not likely to give you side effects. In rare cases, you may experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, nose bleeds, trouble breathing, cough, burning, or itching. Most of these side effects of Avamys Nasal Spray do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Tell your doctor if you have had an allergic or hypersensitive reaction to fluticasone or other medicines. If you are a pregnant woman or nursing mother, do not consume Avamys Nasal Spray without first consulting your doctor. Avoid Avamys Nasal Spray use in patients with recent nasal ulcers, surgery, or trauma. It is recommended not to use in children under four years of age. Children aged four years and older can use Avamys Nasal Spray under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The development of eye conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma has been reported with the use of fluticasone nasal sprays. You should have a yearly eye exam to check for these conditions. Before using Avamys Nasal Spray, please tell your doctor if you have or have ever been treated for fungal, bacterial, viral or parasitic infections. Also, tell your doctor if you have tuberculosis (a type of lung infection).

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Keep your hygiene in check and your surroundings neat.
  • Include ginger in your daily intake. Some anti-inflammatory chemicals in ginger help relax airway membranes.
  • Keeping hydrated. Coughing, runny nose, and sneezing can be relieved by drinking beverages at room temperature.
  • Stress weakens the immune system and increases the likelihood of being ill. An individual can exercise regularly, meditate, practise deep breathing, and try progressive muscle relaxation techniques to relieve stress.
  • Wish for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to keep fit and safe.
  • It is best to avoid coming into touch with recognised allergens (allergy-causing agents) such as pollen, dust, etc.
  • Avoid certain food that is known to trigger allergies in you.
  • Processed foods and those high in sugar and fat should be avoided because they may trigger inflammation.
  • Reduce your daily salt intake and replace it with herbs or spices such as garlic, ginger, and turmeric, which contain natural anti-inflammatory ingredients.
  • Please avoid contact with dust as it might worsen your symptoms.
  • Stop smoking; quitting smoking can significantly reduce the severity and frequency of your symptoms.
  • Also, please avoid contact with pollen in the air as it might worsen your symptoms.
  • Contact with any person with chickenpox, measles, or tuberculosis should be avoided as it might cause you the same infection as Avamys Nasal Spray makes your body prone to infections.

FLUTICASONE-0.05%W/WOther diseases of liver
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Avamys Nasal Spray:
Corticosteroids are primarily eliminated by hepatic metabolism, hence liver dysfunction may cause them to accumulate. Hepatic disease patients need to be closely watched.

How to manage the interaction:
Liver disease patients using Avamys Nasal Spray should be monitored closely.
FLUTICASONE-0.05%W/WCushing syndrome
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Avamys Nasal Spray:
Rarely, the use of nasal and inhaled corticosteroids may cause hyperadrenocorticism or worsen its symptoms. Corticosteroid side effects can be lessened by administering them locally rather than systemically, although the dangers are still present. Drugs that are applied topically or inhaled may enter the bloodstream, especially when high concentrations are utilised. It is crucial that the lowest effective dosage be used and that the recommended dosages of the various products not be exceeded. During inhaled or nasal corticosteroid medication, the emergence of symptoms such irregular menstruation, acneiform lesions, cataracts, and cushingoid features may signify overuse.

How to manage the interaction:
The use of inhaled and nasal corticosteroids such as Avamys Nasal Spray may rarely precipitate or aggravate conditions of hyperadrenocorticism. Hence, you are advised not to use more than the recommended dosages.
FLUTICASONE-0.05%W/WGlaucoma
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Avamys Nasal Spray:
In patients with ocular herpes simplex, pharmacologic doses of corticosteroids may raise the risk of corneal perforation. In such patients, corticosteroid therapy should be delivered with caution, both orally and inhalation.

How to manage the interaction:
Inhaled and nasal Avamys Nasal Spray should be used with caution in patients with ocular herpes simplex (a type of viral eye infection).
FLUTICASONE-0.05%W/WOsteoporosis without pathological fracture
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Avamys Nasal Spray:
Long-term inhalation of corticosteroids may cause a decline in bone density. This effect, which has mostly been documented with high dosages (>= 800 mcg/day of beclomethasone or similar for >= 1 year), appears to be dose-related. Patients getting lesser dosages have also been shown to have lower levels of total body calcium. Patients with osteoporosis should be treated with inhaled and nasal corticosteroids over the long term with caution. It is crucial that the lowest effective dosage be used and that the recommended dosages of the various products not be exceeded.

How to manage the interaction:
Long-term therapy with inhaled and nasal corticosteroids should be used with caution in patients with osteoporosis. It is advised not to exceed more than the recommended dosages.
