About Avamys nasal spray
Avamys nasal spray is an effective allergy and hay fever medication. It contains the active ingredient fluticasone furoate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the nasal passages caused by allergic reactions, often triggered by pollen, animals, and house dust.
By decreasing nasal inflammation, this steroid-based spray effectively eases allergic rhinitis symptoms like nasal congestion, runny or itchy nose, sneezing, and red, itchy, watery eyes.
Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, each Avamys nasal spray bottle holds around 120 sprays, based on the typical starting dose. It's suitable for both adults and children aged 6 years and over, providing relief for allergic rhinitis symptoms.
What is Avamys nasal spray used for?
Avamys Nasal Spray is a versatile treatment for allergy-related symptoms. It effectively reduces discomfort caused by seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), relieving nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and watery, itchy, or red eyes.
The spray delivers a fine mist directly into each nostril using a once-daily application. With regular use, it helps soothe nasal inflammation, clear airways, and provide lasting relief from allergy symptoms.
Beyond hay fever, Avamys can also help manage allergic reactions triggered by pet dander or house dust mites, offering year-round symptom control.

How Avamys nasal spray helps with allergic rhinitis?
Avamys spray fights allergic reactions in your nose, like hay fever. It uses a strong corticosteroid called fluticasone furoate to reduce swelling and mucus.
This helps with symptoms such as itchiness, sneezing, and runny noses. Avamys is effective against all nasal allergies, all year round.
Fluticasone furoate in Avamys is like natural corticosteroids. It attaches to specific cells, calming the immune response to allergens. This reduces substances like histamines that cause inflammation.
Symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes are lowered. Avamys contains 27.5mcg of fluticasone furoate, a corticosteroid.
It's absorbed by nasal cells to block allergic triggers. This eases swelling and symptoms related to allergies, including runny noses and itchiness.
How effevtive Avamys nasal spray?
Studies involving patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hayfever) have shown that Avamys significantly reduces their symptoms.
Most patients experienced a notable 40-60% improvement in their symptom scores. In comparison, patients who received a placebo showed a 25-40% improvement.
Relief from symptoms can start within 8 hours or more after beginning Avamys. However, using it daily while exposed to your allergens offers the maximum benefit.
Avamys nasal spray during pregnancy or breastfeeding
It's crucial to consult with your doctor before using Avamys nasal spray if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Your healthcare provider can assess your individual situation and provide guidance on whether the benefits of using the nasal spray outweigh any potential risks to you or your baby.
Always follow your doctor's recommendations regarding medications during pregnancy or breastfeeding to ensure the safety of both you and your child.
How to ease hay fever symptoms:
- Shower regularly to remove pollen from hair and skin.
- Apply Vaseline around your nostrils to trap pollen.
- Wear wraparound sunglasses to shield your eyes from irritants.
- Keep windows shut during high pollen count days.
- Change clothes after being outdoors.
