✔️ How Avaspray works

Avaspray is a steroid that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies.

✔️ Quick Suggestions:

The right way to use the Avaspray nasal spray:

• Avoid deep breathing as it will cause the medication to go back to the throat and make it less effective.
• Do not share the bottle with anyone else so that you do not spread germs.
• Avaspray should be avoided in patients with recent nasal ulcers, nasal surgery, or nasal trauma.

✔️ Side Effects of Avaspray Nasal Spray

• Nasal Inflammation
• Headache
• Nosebleeds
• Nasal Ulceration
• Breathlessness

✔️ Indications of Avaspray Nasal Spray

Avaspray Nasal Spray belongs to the class of drugs called Corticosteroids. Avaspray Nasal Spray is generally used to treat allergic rhinitis symptoms in adults and children older than six years old, including sneezing, runny nose, and sinus pain. An allergic reaction is an immune system reaction to outside substances that are usually not detrimental to your body.

✔️ Pharmacology

An artificial tri-fluorinated corticosteroid with strong anti-inflammatory properties is called Avaspray 120. It is unknown exactly how Fluticasone Furoate affects the signs and symptoms of rhinitis. Histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, and cytokines are only a few of the mediators (such as mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes) and cell types that corticosteroids have been proven to have a variety of effects on. Corticosteroids' anti-inflammatory properties may help explain why they are effective at treating rhinitis.

✔️ Dosage of Avaspray Nasal Spray

• For adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older the recommended dosage is two sprays in each nostril once daily.
• For patients 2 to 12 years of age the recommended starting dosage is one spray in each nostril once daily.
• Patients not adequately responding to one spray in each nostril once daily may use two sprays in each nostril once daily.
• Once adequate control of symptoms is achieved, a dose reduction to one spray in each nostril once daily is recommended.

✔️ Administrations of Avaspray Nasal Spray

Nasal Spray: 

• Insert the tip of the bottle into a nostril while closing the other nostril and spray towards the sides of the nostril.
• Keep your head straight and breathe gently.
• Repeat the same process for another nostril.

✔️ Interaction of Avaspray 120

Strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors may increase exposure to fluticasone furoate. 

The combination with ritonavir is not recommended. Be careful when combining it with other strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as ketoconazole).

✔️ Contraindications

Fluticasone furoate nasal spray is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to any of its ingredients.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy Category: C. Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

✔️ Precautions & Warnings

• Co-administration with ritonavir is not recommended because of the risk of systemic effects secondary to increased exposure to Fluticasone Furoate.
• When intranasal steroids are used at higher than recommended dosages or in susceptible individuals at recommended dosages, systemic corticosteroid effects such as hypercorticism and suppression of HPA function may occur.
• As with all medications containing a corticosteroid, Fluticasone Furoate nasal spray should be administered with caution and only if necessary, in patients with active or quiescent tuberculosis infections of the respiratory tract; chronic or untreated infections such as systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic; or ocular herpes simplex.
