Furamist Nasal Spray Provides Relief From Allergies

Working

Furamist Nasal Spray (fluticasone) is a synthetic corticosteroid that has anti-inflammatory activity. The exact mechanism of action through which the drug propionate treats rhinitis symptoms is unknown. However, corticosteroids like fluticasone have shown to have a wide range of effects on inflammatory mediators such as histamines, cytokines, leukotrienes, etc. Furamist Nasal Spray has been found effective at decreasing inflammatory cells in the nasal mucosa, providing relief from nasal blockage and runny nose.
