About Flublock AZ Nasal Spray 7 ml

Flublock AZ Nasal Spray 7 ml is used to treat allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. An allergy is a condition that occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance. These foreign substances are known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever, pollen or pet dander. One of the main symptoms of allergy is cough, which acts as a reflex action in the throat when there is any mucus or foreign irritant entering the respiratory system.

Flublock AZ Nasal Spray 7 ml is a combination of two drugs: Fluticasone (corticosteroid) and Azelastine (antihistamine/antiallergic). Fluticasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside the nasal lining cells and stopping the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions, thereby relieving sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort. On the other hand, Azelastine belongs to the class of antihistamines (antiallergic drugs) that works by blocking histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness. Together, both of them effectively treat allergic symptoms.

Take Flublock AZ Nasal Spray 7 ml as advised by your doctor by spraying towards the sides of nostrils. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Flublock AZ Nasal Spray 7 ml based on your medical condition. Some people may experience headaches, taste changes or nose bleeds.
