Dymista Nasal Spray

Dymista is a nasal spray treatment for moderate to severe allergies. It works for both seasonal allergies (hay fever) as well as year-long allergies (dust, pet dander and mould).

Dymista treats the following symptoms

Nasal itching

Sneezing

Blocked nose

Red eyes

Itchy eyes

Watery eyes

Runny nose

It contains two active ingredients that combat the allergic reaction and reduce swelling in your nasal passages.

It provides direct relief for nasal symptoms such as itchy and runny nose, sneezing and blocked nose. It can also help treat eye symptoms such as itchy, watery or red eyes.

Dymista contains two active ingredients: azelastine and fluticasone. These ingredients work in different ways to treat hay fever.

Azelastine is an antihistamine. It works by reducing the effects of histamine, the chemical released during an allergic reaction.

Fluticasone is a corticosteroid. It targets inflammation in the nasal passages caused by the allergic reaction.

Both of these effects combined directly relieve allergy symptoms.

There are several benefits of Dymista:

• It provides almost instant relief - it works in as little as 5 minutes.
• Treats allergy symptoms in the nose and the eyes.
• It is an easy-to-use nasal spray.
• It provides 24-hour relief.

It means you get instant relief and you won’t have to worry about symptoms throughout the day.

To learn how to use this nasal spray efficiently, follow the instructions below.

When do I use Dymista?

Use Dymista nasal spray twice daily. Spray one dose into each nostril once in the morning and once in the evening.

Follow the preparation steps below to ensure proper use.

Preparing your nasal spray

The first time you use the nasal spray you need to prime the bottle.

1. Shake the bottle gently for 5 seconds by tilting it upwards and then downwards.
2. Remove the protective cap.
3. Put two fingers on either side of the spray pump and place your thumb on the bottom of the bottle.
4. Press down and release the pump 6 times or until a fine mist appears.
5. Now your nasal spray is ready to use.

You will need to reprime the spray bottle if you have not used it for more than 7 days.

How to use Dymista

Blow your nose to clear your nostrils.

Shake the bottle gently for 5 seconds. Then, remove the protective cap.

Tilt your head forward slightly

Close one nostril with your finger and insert the tip of the spray into the other nostril

Keeping the bottle upright, press down once to spray the dose and breathe in gently at the same time

Repeat steps 3-5 with the other nostril

Wipe off the tip with a clean tissue and replace the dust cap

You must breathe out gently and keep your head tilted downwards. This will stop the medicine going into your throat and prevent it from causing an unpleasant taste.

After each use, wipe the spray tip with a clean tissue or cloth.

How long can you use Dymista nasal spray?

Dymista is safe to use long-term with doctor supervision. However, if you have been using it consistently for 6 months, you should consult with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure it remains effective and to check for any potential side effects or complications.

How long does it take to work?

Dymista should provide instant relief. Most people should notice an improvement in their symptoms after 5 minutes. However, in some cases, it can take up to 2-4 hours.

You should apply one spray into each nostril, once in the morning and once in the evening.

If you miss a dose, simply take the next dose at the right time. Do not take an extra dose to make up for the missed dose.

If you apply more than the prescribed amount you are unlikely to experience any side effects. However, if you take too much for a long time, contact your doctor as it can cause health problems.

Dymista has proven to be effective in clinical studies involving adults and adolescents with allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Compared to placebo, Dymista significantly improved nasal symptoms such as a runny or blocked nose, sneezing and nasal itching.

Modifying your lifestyle can help to achieve the best results when using Dymista. Consider doing the following:

Reduce exposure to allergens by:

• keeping your windows closed during high pollen seasons
• using air purifiers
• regularly cleaning your home to reduce dust and pet dander
• showering and changing your clothes after being outside to remove pollen
• rinsing your nasal passages with saline solution to remove allergens.

I would recommend following a low-histamine diet to reduce allergy symptoms. This involves reducing or avoiding foods high in histamine, such as alcohol, hard cheeses and tinned fish.

Also, make sure to regularly visit your healthcare provider to monitor and manage your symptoms.

Dymista nasal spray is for people with moderate to severe allergy symptoms, and who have tried other treatments that have not worked.

It works for people with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) or perennial allergic rhinitis (pet dander, dust mites or mould).

Who cannot use it?

It is safe for most people to take. However, if you have any other medical conditions, you should be cautious whilst using this nasal spray.

At euroClinix, our doctors are able to prescribe this medicine if you are over 18 years of age and are suitable for treatment.

Ask your doctor before using this nasal spray if you have:

• Recently had an operation on your nose or mouth: to avoid irritation or complications during healing.
• An infection in your nose: to prevent worsening of the infection.
• Untreated infections or tuberculosis: to avoid systemic side effects.
• Recently experienced a change in your vision: to rule out ocular pressure issues.
• A history of ocular pressure, glaucoma, or cataracts: corticosteroids can worsen these conditions.
• Severe liver disease: as you may experience more side effects.
• Impaired adrenal function: corticosteroids can interfere with adrenal hormone production.

Like all prescription medicines, Dymista nasal spray can cause side effects. However, common side effects are mild and should go away on their own.

Common side effects of Dymista nasal spray include:

• headache
• bitter taste in your mouth
• unpleasant smell

Less common side effects may include:

• irritation of the inside of the nose (e.g. mild stinging, itching
• nasal dryness

• a dry throat or throat irritation

Serious side effects are very rare. In the rare chance you experience an allergic reaction, you may experience side effects such as:

• swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat that causes difficulty breathing
• skin rash

Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of a severe allergic reaction.

Cautions

If taken in high doses for long periods of time, Dymista nasal spray can cause some adverse effects:

• systemic side effects (side effects affecting the whole body)
• affect hormone levels in the body
• reduction of bone density (osteoporosis)

These effects are rare. The risk is only increased if you take Dymista in high doses for a long term

Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure.

Always ask your doctor before starting a new medicine if you take other medicines. This is because it may interact with your current medication.

Ask your doctor if you take:

• other hay fever medicines
• other steroid nasal sprays
• medicines for HIV
• medicines for fungal infections (e.g. ketoconazole)
• monoamine-oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
• diclofenac (for arthritis)

If you are not sure if your medicines will interfere with Dymista nasal spray, talk to your doctor.

Your doctor will want to see if Dymista is safe for you to take. They may need to adjust the dose of Dymista to treat your allergies.
