Furamist Nasal Spray

Product Overview:

Furamist Nasal Spray and Furamist Az Nasal Spray are corticosteroid-based medications containing Fluticasone Furoate as the active ingredient. Furamist Az Nasal Spray additionally includes Reformulated Azelastine hydrochloride. These sprays are formulated to effectively manage symptoms of allergic rhinitis and related nasal conditions.

Uses:

These nasal sprays are indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis symptoms, such as:

• Sneezing
• Rhinorrhea (runny nose) or nasal obstruction
• Ocular pruritus (itchy eyes) or excessive lacrimation (watery eyes)
• Nasal congestion

Directions for Use:

For optimal administration of Furamist Nasal Spray and Furamist Az Nasal Spray:

1. Gently agitate the container before use.
2. Remove the protective cap.
3. Position your head slightly forward and insert the applicator into one nostril.
4. Occlude the contralateral nostril with your finger.
5. Administer the spray while inhaling softly.
6. Repeat the procedure for the opposite nostril.
7. Clean the nozzle and securely replace the cap.

Mechanism of Action:

Fluticasone Furoate, the primary component in both formulations, exerts its therapeutic effect by mitigating nasal mucosal inflammation, thereby alleviating allergic manifestations. Furamist Az Nasal Spray’s additional ingredient, Reformulated Azelastine hydrochloride, provides complementary antihistaminic activity by inhibiting histamine-mediated allergic responses.
