USES OF FLOMIST NASAL SPRAY

  • Sneezing and runny nose due to allergies

Flomist Nasal Spray is a steroid. It relieves the symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as runny nose, sneezing and sinus discomfort. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that cause inlammation (swelling) and allergies, thus relieving the discomfort and irritation in your nose.

You should always use Flomist Nasal Spray as advised by your doctor. To get the full benefit of the medicine you should take it regularly. Normally, you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat for the other nostril.

Nasal irritation is very common side effect of this medicine. It may also cause nosebleed and headache in some patients. Talk to your doctor if you are worried about side effects or they do not go away.

In general, you should try to avoid situations which make your symptoms worse (things like pollen and dust mites) and it’s best not to smoke.

 FAQs

Q. How does Flomist work?
Flomist is a corticosteroid, which works by decreasing the inflammation caused by allergies. It reduces inflammation by blocking the release of certain natural substances that cause allergic symptoms such as swelling, redness, and pain.
Q. My friend developed a severe allergic reaction when she started Flomist. Could it be due to Flomist even though it is used for allergy purpose?
In very rare cases, Flomist can cause serious allergic reactions such as rash, hives, breathing difficulty, swelling of the face, throat, and tongue. It may also cause low blood pressure which may further cause lightheadedness and the patient may even faint. If these symptoms occur, you should immediately contact your doctor because such allergic reactions can be life threatening.
Q. For how long should I take Flomist?
It is recommended that you take the nasal spray as long as you are exposed to the allergen. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Q. Does long-term use of Flomist have any side effects?
Usual doses of Flomist can be tolerated by most people for long periods of time. But, few people may develop nose bleed, hole in nasal cartilage, and visual disturbances due to cataract or glaucoma if they take Flomist for a long time. Moreover, high doses also tend to increase the risk of weakening of bones (osteoporosis) and diabetes.
