Medicinal Benefits of Spiroflut A Nasal Spray

AZELASTINE+FLUTICASONE FUROATE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Fluticasone furoate and Azelastine used to treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. Fluticasone furoate belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside cells of the nasal lining. It stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions, thereby providing relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort. Azelastine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Together AZELASTINE+FLUTICASONE FUROATE reliefs allergic symptoms, including seasonal allergies, and reduce inflammation of nasal passage.
