Introduction
Fluticel F Nasal Spray is a steroid that helps alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including runny nose, sneezing, and sinus discomfort. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation and allergies, thus reducing discomfort and irritation in the nose. Common side effects include nasal discomfort, nosebleeds, nasal inflammation, and headaches. It may lower the body's ability to fight infections, so avoid contact with individuals with chickenpox, measles, or tuberculosis. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using this medication.
