Common use

Flixotide Nasal Spray is primarily indicated for the management of allergic rhinitis, including both seasonal (e.g., pollen-induced) and perennial (e.g., dust mite or pet dander-induced) forms. It is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. Healthcare providers may also recommend it off-label for certain cases of non-allergic rhinitis or nasal polyps, though such use should be strictly supervised.

Dosage and direction

The standard dosage for adults and adolescents is 2 sprays (100 mcg total) into each nostril once daily. Alternatively, 1 spray per nostril may be administered twice daily. Shake well before use. Prime the pump before first use or if unused for 7 days or more by releasing sprays into the air until a fine mist appears. Gently insert the nozzle into the nostril, keeping the bottle upright, and breathe in gently while spraying. Avoid blowing the nose immediately after administration.

Precautions

  • Not recommended for children under 12 years of age
  • Use with caution in patients with recent nasal surgery, nasal ulcers, or nasal trauma
  • Monitor for signs of localized fungal infections, such as candidiasis
  • Prolonged use may rarely lead to systemic corticosteroid effects; regular follow-up is advised
  • Inform your healthcare provider if you have tuberculosis, ocular herpes simplex, or untreated fungal, bacterial, or viral infections

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to fluticasone propionate or any excipients in the formulation. Should not be used during active or quiescent tuberculosis infections of the respiratory tract, or in the presence of untreated local or systemic fungal, bacterial, or viral infections.

Possible side effects

Common side effects may include mild nasal irritation, dryness, sneezing, or unpleasant taste. Less frequently, nosebleeds, headache, or pharyngitis may occur. Rare but serious side effects include nasal septum perforation, glaucoma, cataracts, adrenal suppression, or severe allergic reactions. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if any severe or persistent adverse effects are experienced.

Drug interaction

Flixotide Nasal Spray is minimally absorbed systemically, but interactions may occur with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir), potentially increasing fluticasone exposure. Concurrent use with other corticosteroids (oral, inhaled, or nasal) may elevate the risk of systemic effects. Always inform your prescriber of all medications, including over-the-counter products and supplements.

Missed dose

If a dose is missed, administer it as soon as remembered, unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Resume the regular dosing schedule.

Overdose

Acute overdose is unlikely due to low systemic absorption, but excessive use may lead to systemic corticosteroid effects such as hypercorticism or adrenal suppression. Symptomatic and supportive treatment is recommended. In case of suspected overdose, contact a poison control center or healthcare provider.

Storage

Store at room temperature (15–30°C), away from direct light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children. Discard 3 months after first opening, even if not fully used.
