**# Avamys Nasal Spray
Overview
Avamys Nasal Spray is a corticosteroid medication containing the active ingredient fluticasone furoate. It is designed to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and itchy or watery eyes. Avamys is effective for both seasonal and perennial allergies and is suitable for adults, adolescents, and children aged six years and older.
Benefits
- Relieves Allergy Symptoms: Effectively reduces nasal congestion, runny nose, itching, and sneezing associated with allergic rhinitis.
- Reduces Eye Symptoms: Helps alleviate irritation, redness, and watering of the eyes linked to allergies.
- Anti-Inflammatory: The corticosteroid action reduces inflammation in the nasal passages, providing relief from allergy symptoms.
How to Use
- Dosage for Adults and Adolescents (12 years and older): Two sprays in each nostril once daily, preferably at the same time each day. Once symptoms are controlled, the dose can be reduced to one spray in each nostril daily.
- Dosage for Children (6-11 years): One spray in each nostril once daily, which can be increased to two sprays if symptoms are not adequately controlled.
- Priming the Spray: If using the spray for the first time, or if it hasn't been used for more than 30 days, prime the pump by spraying it into the air until a fine mist appears.
- Application: Shake the bottle well, tilt your head slightly forward, insert the nozzle into one nostril, and spray while breathing in gently through the nose. Repeat for the other nostril.
