FAQs

Fluticasone is present in Avamys Nasal Spray. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that prevents the release of specific molecules in the body that trigger inflammatory responses. As a result, it relieves symptoms such as a blocked or runny nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and an itchy nose.

Avoid use in patients with recent nasal ulcers, surgery, or trauma. Please check with the doctor if you have concerns regarding this.

It may take several days of regular use for your rhinitis symptoms to get better. Call your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve or get worse.

Do not stop using the Avamys Nasal Spray unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so. Suddenly stopping treatment with Avamys Nasal Spray can make you feel unwell and may give you symptoms.

It is not advised to be used in persons with glaucoma or cataracts. The use of nasal corticosteroid medications may aggravate glaucoma and/or cataracts.

Avamys Nasal Spray may cause headaches in a few cases. Rest and drinking plenty of fluids are recommended. Don't consume too much alcohol. Consult your doctor if the headache persists or becomes severe.

If you miss a dose of Avamys Nasal Spray, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it's almost time for the next dose, do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

About Avamys Nasal Spray

Avamys Nasal Spray belongs to the class of corticosteroid medication. It is indicated for managing the nasal symptoms of seasonal, perennial allergic and non-allergic rhinitis in adult and paediatric patients aged four years and older. Seasonal allergies are caused by exposure to airborne substances (such as pollens) that are only present at specific seasons of the year. Perennial allergies are caused by year-round indoor exposure to airborne pollutants (such as house dust). Perennial non-allergic rhinitis, also known as vasomotor rhinitis, is a chronic illness characterised by symptoms similar to allergic rhinitis (runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, and nasal itching) but lasting for more than nine months each year.

Avamys Nasal Spray contains fluticasone. Fluticasone works by inhibiting the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, it provides relief from a blocked or runny nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes and an itchy nose.

Avamys Nasal Spray is available on prescription only. Avamys Nasal Spray must be taken as directed by the healthcare professional or as per leaflet information to get the maximum benefit of Avamys Nasal Spray. With Avamys Nasal Spray, very little medicine is absorbed into the rest of the body, so it's not likely to give you side effects. In rare cases, you may experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, nose bleeds, trouble breathing, cough, burning, or itching. Most of these side effects of Avamys Nasal Spray do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Tell your doctor if you have had an allergic or hypersensitive reaction to fluticasone or other medicines. If you are a pregnant woman or nursing mother, do not consume Avamys Nasal Spray without first consulting your doctor. Avoid Avamys Nasal Spray use in patients with recent nasal ulcers, surgery, or trauma. It is recommended not to use in children under four years of age. Children aged four years and older can use Avamys Nasal Spray under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The development of eye conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma has been reported with the use of fluticasone nasal sprays. You should have a yearly eye exam to check for these conditions. Before using Avamys Nasal Spray, please tell your doctor if you have or have ever been treated for fungal, bacterial, viral or parasitic infections. Also, tell your doctor if you have tuberculosis (a type of lung infection).

  • Avoid certain food that is known to trigger allergies in you.
  • Processed foods and those high in sugar and fat should be avoided because they may trigger inflammation.
  • Reduce your daily salt intake and replace it with herbs or spices such as garlic, ginger, and turmeric, which contain natural anti-inflammatory ingredients.
  • Please avoid contact with dust as it might worsen your symptoms.
  • Stop smoking; quitting smoking can significantly reduce the severity and frequency of your symptoms.
  • Also, please avoid contact with pollen in the air as it might worsen your symptoms.
