Flixonase Nasal Spray 50 mcg

Flixonase Nasal Spray 50 mcg contains fluticasone propionate, with 50 micrograms in each spray. It is a corticosteroid nasal spray used to reduce inflammation in the nose. Doctors prescribe Flixonase Nasal Spray 50 mcg for allergic rhinitis and other nasal allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, and itchy nose.

How it works: Fluticasone propionate works by calming the allergic inflammation inside the nasal passages, which helps reduce swelling and irritation. As a spray, Flixonase Nasal Spray 50 mcg delivers the medicine directly to the lining of the nose, where it acts locally to improve breathing and allergy symptoms.

Flixonase Nasal Spray 50 mcg is the standard single-spray strength used to deliver a measured 50 mcg dose into the nose. Because it is a low-dose spray form rather than a higher tablet or systemic steroid, it is often chosen for people who need local relief of nasal allergy symptoms with less whole-body exposure. The effect is not instant like a decongestant; regular use as directed is what helps it work best.

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis
• Perennial allergic rhinitis
• Sneezing and nasal itching
• Runny nose
• Nasal congestion from allergies

• Use Flixonase Nasal Spray 50 mcg exactly as prescribed and prime the spray if needed before first use.
• Shake the bottle gently before each dose.
• Blow your nose before spraying so the medicine can reach the nasal lining.
• Insert the nozzle into one nostril, close the other nostril, and breathe in gently while spraying.
• Aim the spray slightly away from the center of the nose to help reduce irritation or nosebleeds.
• Do not use more sprays or use it more often than your doctor tells you.

Each actuation of Flixonase Nasal Spray provides 50 mcg of fluticasone propionate. The number of sprays and how often you use them depend on your symptoms, age, and your doctor’s instructions; do not change the dose on your own. This is a 50 mcg nasal spray dose, and a clinician decides whether once-daily or other labeled use is appropriate for you.

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