Flonase (Fluticasone Propionate) Nasal Spray 50mcg 120 Doses
Flonase (Fluticasone Propionate) is a highly effective intranasal corticosteroid spray designed to provide 24-hour relief from allergy symptoms. Whether you are dealing with seasonal hay fever or year-round indoor allergies, Flonase helps block the inflammatory substances that trigger your symptoms.
In Nigeria, this medication is also commonly known and registered under the brand name Flixonase by GSK. Both contain the same active ingredient, fluticasone propionate, and work the same way to provide relief.
Key Benefits
- Multi-Symptom Relief: Targets nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
- Non-Drowsy Formula: Unlike some antihistamines, Flonase does not cause drowsiness, making it suitable for daytime use.
- 24-Hour Coverage: Provides a full day and night of relief with a single daily dose.
How it Works
Flonase works directly in the nose to help block 6 key inflammatory substances: histamine, prostaglandins, cytokines, tryptases, chemokines, and leukotrienes. Most over-the-counter antihistamines only block histamine.
