Before you can understand how FLONASE works, it’s important to understand what’s going on in your nose.
Allergy Inflammatory Process
-
Every time you’re exposed to one of your nasal allergy triggers (like animal dander, dust mites, or pollen), your body responds by producing inflammatory substances.
-
These inflammatory substances affect the lining of your nose, and then trigger annoying symptoms like nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy, runny nose.
-
It’s a cycle, or what’s called an inflammatory process—you’re exposed to allergens, your body responds by producing inflammatory substances, and the result can be annoying nasal symptoms.
FLONASE reduces inflammatory reactions that may lead to nasal symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, and itchy, runny nose.
As with many medications, exactly how FLONASE works isn’t entirely understood.
How FLONASE Reduces Inflammation
FLONASE belongs to a class of medications called intranasal corticosteroids that reduce inflammation, therefore, reducing the nasal airway's response to allergens and irritants in the air.
