Avamist 120 metered Nasal Spray
Description:
Fluticasone Furoate is a synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory activity. Like other corticosteroids, Fluticasone Furoate is found to have a wide range of actions on multiple cell types (e.g., mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes) and mediators (e.g., histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, cytokines) involved in inflammation. Intranasal administration of Fluticasone Furoate significantly improves nasal symptoms (comprising rhinorrhoea, nasal congestion, sneezing and nasal itching) and ocular symptoms (comprising itching/burning, tearing/watering and redness of the eyes). Efficacy is maintained over the full 24-hours dosing period with once daily administration.
Indication
Dosage & Administration
Adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older: The recommended starting dose is 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. When maximum benefit is achieved with controlled symptoms then only 1 spray in each nostril once daily may be used to reduce possible side effects.
Children aged 6 to 11 years: The recommended starting dose is 1 spray in each nostril once daily.
How to Use: Prime Avamist nasal spray before using for the first time by shaking the contents well and releasing 6 sprays into the air away from the face. When Avamist nasal spray has not been used for more than 30 days or if the cap has been left off the bottle for 5 days or longer, prime the pump again until a fine mist appears.

USE IN CHILDEREN AND ADOLESCENTS:
The safety and effectiveness of Avamist nasal spray in children younger than 6 years have not been established. Controlled clinical trials have shown that intranasal corticosteroids may cause a reduction in growth velocity in pediatric patients. The potential for Fluticasone Furoate to cause growth suppression in susceptible patients or when given at higher than recommended dosages cannot be ruled out.
