Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg

Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg is a prescription nasal spray that contains fluticasone propionate 50 micrograms in each spray. It belongs to the corticosteroid class, which helps reduce inflammation inside the nose. Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg is used to treat allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and itchy, watery nose symptoms. Because it works locally in the nose, it is commonly chosen for ongoing control of allergic rhinitis rather than quick rescue relief.

How it works: Fluticasone propionate works by calming the inflammation and swelling inside the lining of the nose. In spray form, Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg delivers the medicine directly to the nasal passages so it can reduce allergy symptoms at the source.

Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg delivers 50 mcg of fluticasone propionate per spray, which is a standard adult and pediatric-strength nasal spray dose form rather than an oral medicine. A doctor may choose Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg when a patient needs regular allergy control and can use a nasal spray correctly; it is not for immediate relief of sudden symptoms. Compared with lower-strength options, this 50 mcg spray is intended to provide the full per-spray dose prescribed for nasal inflammation control.

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis
• Perennial allergic rhinitis
• Sneezing from allergies
• Runny nose due to allergies
• Nasal congestion from allergic inflammation
• Itchy nose and watery eyes linked to nasal allergies

• Shake the bottle and follow the priming instructions before the first use if the spray has not been used recently.
• Blow your nose gently before using Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg.
• Insert the spray tip into one nostril, close the other nostril, and spray while breathing in gently through the nose.
• Aim the spray slightly away from the center wall of the nose to help reduce irritation and nosebleeds.
• Use it at the same time each day if your doctor has told you to use it regularly.
• Do not use more sprays than prescribed, and do not use it as a quick-relief medicine for sudden allergy attacks.

Each spray of Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg provides 50 mcg of fluticasone propionate. The number of sprays and how often you use them depends on the condition being treated and your doctor’s instructions; this medicine is commonly used once daily, but the exact schedule is individualized. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount your prescriber recommends, because the right dose for Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg depends on age, symptom severity, and response.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
