Dymista nasal spray (azelastine and fluticasone)

Common use

Dymista combines azelastine, an antihistamine, and fluticasone, a corticosteroid, to provide relief from nasal symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis. It works by blocking histamine action and reducing inflammation in the nasal passages.

Dosage and direction

Dymista is usually administered as 1–2 sprays in each nostril twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Gently blow your nose before use, and tilt your head slightly forward while spraying. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Precautions

Inform your doctor if you have glaucoma, cataracts, infections in the nose or throat, or a history of nasal surgery. Avoid exposure to airborne infections while using the spray. Monitor for persistent nosebleeds or irritation.

Contraindications

Do not use Dymista if allergic to azelastine, fluticasone, or any component of the nasal spray.

Possible side effect

Common side effects include nasal irritation, bitter taste, headache, and mild nosebleeds. Rare but serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions, vision changes, or signs of infection. Seek medical attention if severe symptoms occur.

Drug interaction

Dymista may interact with other nasal corticosteroids or medications affecting the immune system. Inform your doctor about all prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and supplements you are taking.

Missed dose

If a dose is missed, administer it as soon as you remember. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Overdose

Overdose may cause excessive nasal irritation or systemic corticosteroid effects. Seek medical attention if overdose is suspected.

Storage

Store Dymista at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
