Flownaze nasal spray is a medication commonly used to treat allergic rhinitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the nasal passages due to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. This nasal spray combines two active ingredients: azelastine, an antihistamine, and fluticasone, a corticosteroid.
Azelastine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion. Fluticasone, on the other hand, reduces inflammation in the nasal passages, helping to relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and nasal itching.
The combination of these two medications in a nasal spray provides both quick relief from allergy symptoms and long-term control of inflammation. It is typically used once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare provider.
