Description
Flomist Nasal Spray
Flomist Nasal Spray 50 mcg is a corticosteroid-based nasal spray designed to combat allergic rhinitis and nasal inflammation. Packed with fluticasone propionate, it effectively reduces congestion, sneezing, and itching by inhibiting inflammatory responses.

How Flomist Nasal Spray Works ?

- Blocking Inflammatory Substances – It inhibits the release of histamines, prostaglandins, and other chemicals responsible for allergic reactions.
- Reducing Swelling & Congestion – It decreases swelling inside the nasal passages, making breathing easier.
- Preventing Allergy Symptoms – By suppressing immune responses, it helps prevent sneezing, runny nose, and itching.
- Long-Lasting Effect – Unlike decongestants, it provides sustained relief with regular use.
