About Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray

Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray belongs to the class of medications called 'antiallergic' primarily used to treat allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. An allergy is a condition that occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance that is typically not harmful to your body. These foreign substances are known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods, pollen or pet dander. 

Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray combines two drugs: Fluticasone furoate (corticosteroid) and Azelastine (antihistamine/antiallergic). Fluticasone furoate prevents the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. On the other hand, Azelastine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Together, Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray provides relief from allergic symptoms.

Take Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray as advised by your doctor. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray based on your medical condition. Some people may experience certain common side effects such as headaches, taste changes or nose bleeds. Most of these side effects of Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray. Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray is not recommended for children below six years of age.

Medicinal Benefits

Flutivac AZ Nasal Spray is a combination of two drugs: Fluticasone furoate and Azelastine, used to treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. Fluticasone furoate belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside cells of the nasal lining. It stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions, thereby providing relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort. Azelastine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.
