How it Works

Flutikrit AZ Nasal Spray is a combination of two medicines. Fluticasone Furoate is a steroid that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. Azelastine is an antihistaminic medication. It treats allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and rashes by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger (histamine) in the body. This is how Flutikrit AZ Nasal Spray treats an allergic runny nose.
