WHAT AVAMYS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Avamys (fluticasone furoate) belongs to a group of medicines called
_glucocorticoids_. Avamys works to
decrease inflammation caused by allergy (_rhinitis_) and therefore
reduce symptoms of allergy.
Avamys nasal spray is used to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis
including stuffy, runny or itchy nose,
sneezing and watery, itchy or red eyes, in adults and children aged 6
years and over.
Allergy symptoms can occur at specific times of the year and be caused
by allergy to pollen from grass or
trees (hayfever), or they can occur all year round and be caused by
allergy to animals, house-dust mites or
moulds to name some of the most common.
