Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 mcg

Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 mcg is a prescription nasal spray that contains fluticasone furoate 27.5 mcg in each spray. It belongs to the corticosteroid class and is used to help relieve allergy symptoms such as a blocked, runny, or itchy nose, and sneezing. This Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 mcg is designed for use in the nose, where it reduces inflammation that drives allergic rhinitis symptoms. It is not a rescue medicine for sudden breathing trouble.

How it works: Fluticasone furoate is a corticosteroid that calms inflammation inside the nasal passages. As a spray, Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 mcg coats the lining of the nose so swelling, irritation, and mucus production are reduced over time.

Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 mcg delivers 27.5 mcg of fluticasone furoate in each spray, which is the exact amount in this product. Because it is a nasal corticosteroid spray, it is chosen for people who need local allergy control in the nose rather than a pill or inhaler, and the effect may build gradually with regular use. A doctor may choose this strength when they want targeted symptom relief with once-daily nasal dosing.

• Use Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 mcg exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

• Insert the nozzle into one nostril, aim slightly away from the center of the nose, and breathe in gently while spraying.

• Use it regularly at the same time each day for the best effect; it is not meant for immediate relief of a sudden allergy flare.

Each spray of Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 mcg provides 27.5 mcg of fluticasone furoate. The number of sprays and how often to use it depend on your doctor’s directions and the condition being treated; many patients use it once daily, but the prescribed dose should always be followed. Do not use more than the maximum daily dose your clinician recommends for this 27.5 mcg spray.
