Avamys nasal spray contains a steroid called fluticasone furoate, which helps to reduce inflammation in the nose caused by the body's allergic response to pollen and opens up the airways to make breathing easier.

When to Use Avamys Nasal Spray?

Avamys is a nasal spray treatment that reduces the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) in adults and children.

It can also treat general allergies to dust, pets, mould, and other irritants. If you suffer from runny nose, itching skin, watery eyes, or other allergic reactions, Avamys can be a beneficial solution.

You can use the nasal spray as a first-line treatment or for preventative measures during hay fever season.

Age Restrictions

Generally speaking, Avamys is fine for usage in adults and children over six years old. However, you should seek medical advice and follow a doctor's instructions to treat a younger child.

How to Use Avamys Nasal Spray?

Please follow these instructions when using Avamys Nasal Spray:

  1. Shake the bottle before usage to ensure the solution mixes.
  2. Then, remove the cap and spray the bottle away from you around six times until you see a mist come out of the nozzle. You should do this for new bottles or when you haven't used the spray for a while.
  3. Blow your nose to clear out the nostrils, and place the nozzle inside your nostril while tilting your head slightly forward.
  4. Spray once into each nostril while breathing in. Your doctor may prescribe two sprays into each nostril.
  5. Wipe the nozzle after each use and replace the cap. Never use the spray after its expiration date.

When to Avoid Using the Nasal Spray?

While Avamys nasal spray is an effective medication that's usually safe for adults and children over six, there may be some cases where you should avoid it, including:

  • Allergies: If you're allergic to fluticasone furoate or any other ingredients in Avamys, please avoid using it and find suitable alternatives.
  • Infections: Some people may think they're suffering from allergies, but it's actually a sinus or nasal infection. You'll need antibiotics for this to clear the infection up.
  • Surgery: If you've had recent nasal surgeries or sores in your nose, using Avamys could worsen your symptoms.
  • Other Conditions: Certain medical conditions like liver problems and fungal infections often require medication, and taking corticosteroids can result in complications.

Precautions

While research doesn't suggest that the nasal spray can cause issues for pregnant or breastfeeding women, it's still important to discuss it with your doctor or a registered pharmacist.

The long-term use of corticosteroids can increase the risks of developing conditions such as Cushing's syndrome.
