About Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI

Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI 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.

Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI 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.

Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI is available on prescription only. Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI must be taken as directed by the healthcare professional or as per leaflet information to get the maximum benefit of Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI.

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 Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI 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 Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI without first consulting your doctor. Avoid Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI 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 Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

How does the disease interact with Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI:
Corticosteroids are primarily eliminated by hepatic metabolism, hence liver dysfunction may cause them to accumulate. Hepatic disease patients need to be closely watched.

How to manage the interaction:

FLUTICASONE-0.05%W/WCushing syndrome
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI:
Rarely, the use of nasal and inhaled corticosteroids may cause hyperadrenocorticism or worsen its symptoms. Corticosteroid side effects can be lessened by administering them locally rather than systemically, although the dangers are still present. Drugs that are applied topically or inhaled may enter the bloodstream, especially when high concentrations are utilised. It is crucial that the lowest effective dosage be used and that the recommended dosages of the various products not be exceeded. During inhaled or nasal corticosteroid medication, the emergence of symptoms such irregular menstruation, acneiform lesions, cataracts, and cushingoid features may signify overuse.

How to manage the interaction:
The use of inhaled and nasal corticosteroids such as Flixonase Innospray Nasal Spray 120 MDI may rarely precipitate or aggravate conditions of hyperadrenocorticism. Hence, you are advised not to use more than the recommended dosages.

Long-term inhalation of corticosteroids may cause a decline in bone density. This effect, which has mostly been documented with high dosages (>= 800 mcg/day of beclomethasone or similar for >= 1 year), appears to be dose-related. Patients getting lesser dosages have also been shown to have lower levels of total body calcium. Patients with osteoporosis should be treated with inhaled and nasal corticosteroids over the long term with caution. It is crucial that the lowest effective dosage be used and that the recommended dosages of the various products not be exceeded.

How to manage the interaction:
Long-term therapy with inhaled and nasal corticosteroids should be used with caution in patients with osteoporosis. It is advised not to exceed more than the recommended dosages.

  • It is best to avoid coming into touch with recognised allergens (allergy-causing agents) such as pollen, dust, etc.
  • Avoid certain food that is known to trigger allergies in you.

  • 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.
