How does Dymista® work?
- Fluticasone propionate is a type of medication called a corticosteroid – it acts on the later phase inflammatory reaction to reduce inflammation.
- Azelastine is a type of medicine called an antihistamine – it acts on the immediate phase reaction to reduce itch, sneezing and running of the nose, as well as alleviate eye symptoms.
- Having the two drugs in a nasal spray means they are delivered to the area where they need to start to work giving greater symptom relief.
- Having two components means Dymista® acts quickly due to the antihistamine, and has long lasting effects due to the steroid acting on the later inflammatory reaction.
Delivering the drugs to the nose means they get to work on the symptoms of allergic rhinitis as soon as possible and nasal and eye symptoms will be treated.
Dymista is suitable for long term use and can be used all year round.
The duration of treatment should correspond to the period of experiencing allergy symptoms.
