What is Flixonase nasal spray?
Flixonase is a steroid nasal spray which contains the active ingredient fluticasone propionate. It works by reducing inflammation in the nasal passage, to combat symptoms of hay fever and allergy.
What is Flixonase used for?
Flixonase is used to treat hay fever (allergic rhinitis) and allergy, such as:
- Sneezing
- Runny nose
- Nasal congestion
- Itching
Important note: You should aim to reduce the dose to one spray into each nostril daily, once control has been achieved.
How to use Flixonase nasal spray

- Blow your nose
- Close one nostril with your finger
- Rest your thumb on the base of the spray and put your forefinger and middle finger on either side of the nozzle

Flixonase ingredients
Active ingredient: Fluticasone propionate 50mcg
Inactive ingredients: Carmellose sodium, glucose, cellulose microcrystalline, polysorbate 80, benzalkonium chloride, phenylethyl alcohol and purified water
Is it safe to use Flixonase long-term?
Flixonase is generally well tolerated and safe to use long-term, as very little of the drug is absorbed into your blood stream. However, larger doses over a long period of time can very rarely affect the production of normal steroids in your body. To avoid this from happening, you should use Flixonase nasal spray at the lowest possible dose, and only use it during exposure to allergens.
Important note: If you need to use Flixonase long-term, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
