Avamys

Avamys nasal spray is a steroid spray designed to combat the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including itchy nose, runny nose, blocked nose, and sneezing. This prescription-only medicine is suitable for use by anyone over the age of six. It contains 27.5 micrograms of the corticosteroid Fluticasone Furoate per spray.

Avamys nasal spray contains the corticosteroid fluticasone furoate. It attaches to the receptors in the nose and helps decrease the immune system's response to allergens.

By reducing the response to allergens, you experience fewer hay fever symptoms such as itchy nose, itchy eyes, runny nose and blocked nose.

Blow your nose gently before using Avamys nasal spray to ensure no nasal congestion.

Tilt your head forward, insert the tip of the bottle nozzle into each nostril, and gently spray twice in each nostril.

If you're unsure how to use this medicine, speak to your doctor or pharmacist or read the patient information leaflet.

Yes, it’s perfectly safe to use both types of treatment simultaneously.

Avamys and Flixonase both contain the same active ingredient: fluticasone furoate. Because of this, they’re very similar, although some reports suggest that Avamys generally works faster.

Systemic effects of nasal corticosteroids can occur if high doses of this medicine are used for prolonged periods.

However, these effects are much less likely to occur than oral corticosteroids and may vary in individual patients.

The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 is two sprays into each nostril once daily.

Once symptoms have reduced, the dose can be lowered to one spray in each nostril once daily.

For children between the ages of 6 and 11, the usual starting dose is one spray, once daily, into each nostril to ease nasal congestion.

Do not use this medicine if you've ever experienced a serious allergic reaction to any medicine.

Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if you:

have liver problems

have glaucoma or cataracts

are pregnant or breastfeeding

are taking medicine to treat fungal infections

This medicine is not suitable for anyone under the age of 6 years old.

This medicine is not suitable if you're taking other steroid-based medication.

Avamys won't offer instant relief; it usually takes 8 to 24 hours before your symptoms improve. However, using it consistently for several days can help you manage your allergies and reduce the symptoms.

Avamys is suitable as a long-term treatment for ongoing conditions such as hay fever. However, you should still check with a GP or pharmacist before using it long-term, as they can advise whether doing so is appropriate.

Yes, some specialists may recommend that you use it for non-allergic rhinitis that's triggered by things like strong odours and smoke.

If you miss a dose of Avamys Nasal Spray, you can take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's closer to your next dose, it's best to skip the dose you've missed. Never double up on doses.
