Introduction
Fluticone-OX Nasal Spray should be used as advised by your doctor. Do not use it more often or for longer than recommended. Normally you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other, and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat for the other nostril. It provides relief very quickly and can last for several hours. If you use this medicine too often or for too long, it may worsen your symptoms rather than improve them. It is also beneficial to have plenty of fluids while taking this medication.
Directions for Use

Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breath gently and keep the head upright.

How it works
Fluticone-OX Nasal Spray is a combination of two medicines. Fluticasone furoate inhibits an enzyme (cytosolic phospholipase A2) that triggers a series of reactions involved in the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion. Oxymetazoline is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages.
Quick Tips
Use the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use more than directed. Frequent or prolonged use may cause nasal congestion to recur or worsen. Do not swallow. Use of same Fluticone-OX Nasal Spray by more than one person may spread infection.
