Description
What is Flonase Generic (Flixonase Innospray® Nasal Spray)?
Flixonase Innospray® Nasal Spray is manufactured to relieve respiratory symptoms associated with rhinitis. The anti-inflammatory properties of corticosteroids are used in manufacturing the product. Allergic rhinitis is a common inflammatory condition where one in five people experience symptoms. The nasal lining gets inflamed due to exposure to specific allergens such as dust, pollens, molds, etc. Intranasal corticosteroids are the best effective medications to treat allergic rhinitis. The direct spraying of the corticosteroids to the nasal mucous lining may help in reducing mucous inflammation.
Corticosteroids such as Fluticasone Propionate can block specific chemical pathways that induce the inflammation of the nasal lining. The use of Fluticasone Propionate can alleviate the release of histamine and other chemical agents that come into action due to the allergic response.
Fluticasone Propionate is a product indicated to use only as an inhalation product. It comes as a spray bottle, and the required dose will be determined by the physician depending on your condition, age, and gender. Therefore this is a prescription-only medication, so this is not recommended to use as an over-the-counter medication.
