Sneezing
Itching and discomfort
Red or watery eyes
Avamys can provide quick and effective relief from symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including:
Avamys contains the active ingredient fluticasone furoate, a type of steroid (or corticosteroid). It mimics the steroids that your body produces naturally.
It works by reducing your immune system’s response to an allergen, whether it’s pollen, pet dander or house dust mites. It does this by binding to the receptors of various immune cells in your nasal passage, stopping them from releasing histamine and triggering an allergic reaction.
In other words, Avamys prevents your body from triggering the immune response (to pollen or dust) that causes your uncomfortable hay fever symptoms. It relieves symptoms and reduces inflammation as well as nasal congestion.
Avamys typically starts to work within your first day of using it (around 8 - 24 hours) However, you may only start to feel the full effects and maximum benefits of the medication after a few days.
Avamys is suitable for most adults who suffer from seasonal allergies. While it is suitable for some children, you should check with your doctor as the recommended dose will be different.
You should not take Avamys if you are allergic to fluticasone or any of the other ingredients listed in the patient information leaflet.
Your doctor may want to monitor your treatment closely if you:
If you have any pre-existing conditions, it’s best to consult your healthcare provider before using any new medications to ensure your safety.
Avamys is available as a 27.5 microgram dose, meaning each spray contains 27.5 mcg of fluticasone. The typical dose is two sprays in each nostril once a day.
If you want to check how many sprays you have left, hold the nasal spray upright against a bright light and you will be able to see the level through the window on the bottle.
