About Flutiways AZ Nasal Spray 70 mdi

Flutiways AZ Nasal Spray 70 mdi is a combination nasal spray prescribed to manage symptoms of seasonal and year-round allergies (allergic rhinitis). It is designed to relieve moderate to severe nasal symptoms, including congestion, sneezing, a runny nose, and an itchy nose. This medicine provides targeted relief directly inside the nasal passages.

For the best results, you must use Flutiways AZ Nasal Spray 70 mdi daily and consistently as directed by your doctor, even if your symptoms begin to improve. This nasal spray can be taken with or without food, as its local action in the nose is not affected by meals. Making simple environmental changes, such as keeping windows closed during high-pollen seasons and using allergen-proof bedding, can also significantly improve your comfort.

While using Flutiways AZ Nasal Spray 70 mdi, you may notice mild side effects like a temporarily bitter taste, mild nasal irritation, or slight nosebleeds. If you experience severe nasal crusting, constant nosebleeds, or changes in your vision, stop using the spray and contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

Do not take this if you are allergic to fluticasone furoate, azelastine, or any of the other ingredients in this spray. Talk to your doctor before starting this medicine if you have active infections, untreated nasal sores, or have recently had nasal surgery or an injury to your nose, as steroids can slow down wound healing.

Inform your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially certain antiviral medicines or strong antifungal drugs, which can increase the concentration of the steroid in your body. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing health conditions as an older adult, consult your doctor or pharmacist to ensure this treatment is safe for you.

Directions for Use

  • Gently blow your nose to clear your nostrils before use.
  • Shake the bottle well and remove the protective plastic cap.
  • If using the bottle for the first time, or if you have not used it for a week or more, spray it into the air a few times until a fine mist appears.
  • Tilt your head forward slightly. Hold the bottle upright and insert the spray tip into one nostril, pointing it slightly outward toward your ear (away from the middle wall of your nose).
  • Close your other nostril with your finger. Press the pump firmly while breathing in gently through your nose.
  • Breathe out through your mouth, and then repeat the process in your other nostril.
  • Wipe the nozzle with a clean tissue and replace the cap. Avoid washing the nozzle with sharp objects.

How Flutiways AZ Nasal Spray 70 mdi Works

Flutiways AZ Nasal Spray 70 mdi works through a dual-action mechanism in the nasal passages. It contains two active components: an antihistamine called azelastine and a corticosteroid called fluticasone furoate. • Azelastine: It works by blocking histamine, a natural chemical released by your immune system during an allergic reaction, which can cause symptoms like sneezing, itching, and a runny nose. • Fluticasone furoate: It reduces inflammation, swelling, and mucus production in the nasal tissues. • Together, these two treatments provide stronger, more complete relief from allergy symptoms than using either medicine alone.
