COMBINASE FT features a combination of Fluticasone Propionate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, and Azelastine, an antihistamine that alleviates allergic reactions. This dual-action nasal spray helps to relieve nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose associated with allergic rhinitis. Fluticasone Propionate works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages, while Azelastine blocks histamine receptors, reducing allergy symptoms. The result is a comprehensive solution for managing both nasal congestion and allergy symptoms.
Usage Instructions:
- Dosage: Use COMBINASE FT as directed by your healthcare provider, usually 1-2 sprays into each nostril twice daily.
- Administration: Shake the bottle gently before each use. Clear your nasal passages before spraying. Insert the nozzle into your nostril and spray while inhaling gently.
- Consistency: Follow the prescribed dosage and frequency for optimal results. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose.
Medicinal Advantages:
- Dual-Action Relief: Combines a corticosteroid and an antihistamine to target both inflammation and allergic reactions, providing comprehensive symptom relief.
- Effective Congestion Relief: Fluticasone Propionate helps to reduce nasal inflammation and congestion.
- Allergy Symptom Control: Azelastine blocks histamine receptors, alleviating symptoms like sneezing, itching, and runny nose.
Mechanism of Action:
Fluticasone Propionate works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in the nasal mucosa, reducing inflammation and immune response. Azelastine acts as an antihistamine by blocking histamine H1 receptors, thus preventing the typical allergic reactions such as itching and sneezing. Together, they provide effective and sustained relief from nasal allergy symptoms and congestion.
