What Is Flomist Nasal Spray?
Flomist Nasal Spray is a nasal corticosteroid spray manufactured by Cipla. Each metered actuation delivers 50 mcg per spray z fluticasone propionate. Nasal steroids are first-line therapy for moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis — they treat all four cardinal symptoms (sneeze, itch, runny nose, blocked nose) and outperform oral antihistamines for nasal blockage.
How Does Flomist Nasal Spray Work?
fluticasone propionate is a topical glucocorticoid applied directly to the nasal mucosa. It:
- Reduces eosinophil and lymphocyte infiltration in nasal tissue
- Stabilises mast cells, dampening histamine and tryptase release
- Suppresses inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13)
- Reduces vascular permeability — less swelling, less mucus
- Restores nasal mucosal integrity with daily use
— wzmacnia normalną odpowiedź fizjologiczną, a nie wywołuje ją sztucznie.
- Seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever, pollen-triggered)
- Perennial allergic rhinitis (dust mite, pet dander, mould)
- Non-allergic perennial rhinitis (vasomotor rhinitis)
- Chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps
- Adjunct in nasal polyp regression
- Prevention of allergy-triggered asthma exacerbations (United Airways disease)
Flomist Nasal Spray Dosage
| Pacjent | Dose per nostril | Częstotliwość |
|---|---|---|
| Adults & children >12 yr | 2 sprays (100 mcg) | Once daily; reduce to 1 spray once stable |
| Children 4–11 yr | 1 spray (50 mcg) | Raz dziennie |
| Maintenance dose | 1 spray | Once daily after symptom control |
How to Use Flomist Nasal Spray Properly
- Blow your nose gently to clear mucus before use.
- Shake the bottle; if first use or unused for 14+ days, prime by spraying 4 times into the air until a fine mist appears.
- Tilt your head slightly forward — not back. Tilting back drains the spray into the throat.
- Insert the nozzle into one nostril, aim slightly outward toward the side wall (not toward the nasal septum — sniffing toward the septum risks bleeds and ulceration).
- Press the pump while breathing in gently through that nostril. Avoid forceful sniffing — it drives drug straight into the throat.
- Repeat in the other nostril.
- Wipe the nozzle clean with a dry tissue and replace the cap.
- Do not blow your nose for 15 minutes after spraying — the drug needs time to coat the mucosa.
- Use every day, not just when symptomatic — full benefit develops over 3–7 days.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania
Is Flomist the same as Flixonase?
Yes — both are 50 mcg fluticasone propionate metered nasal sprays. Flixonase (GSK) is the international brand; Flomist (Cipla) is an Indian-market generic. Clinically interchangeable.
How long until Flomist starts to work?
Some itch and sneeze relief within 12 hours; full benefit (especially for nasal blockage) takes 3–7 days of consistent daily use.
Can I use Flomist year-round?
Yes — for perennial allergic rhinitis (dust mite, pet dander, mould) or chronic rhinosinusitis. Long-term use at standard dose is well tolerated.
Will Flomist make me drowsy like an antihistamine tablet?
No — nasal corticosteroids do not cross to the brain in any meaningful amount. Drowsiness is not a feature.
Why does the spray taste bad sometimes?
Drug draining backward into the throat can cause mild bad taste. Tilting your head slightly forward (not back) and aiming the spray outward toward the side wall reduces drainage.
Can children use Flomist?
Yes from age 4 — 1 spray each nostril once daily. Long-term studies show minimal effect on growth velocity at this dose.
How do I avoid nosebleeds with Flomist?
Aim the nozzle outward toward the side wall of the nose (not toward the septum), do not blow your nose for 15 minutes after spraying, and keep the nasal mucosa moist with saline rinse if dry.
Is Flomist safe in pregnancy?
Nasal corticosteroids have very low systemic absorption. Budesonide nasal has the most pregnancy data; fluticasone propionate has reassuring observational data.
How long does one Flomist bottle last?
120 metered actuations — about 60 days at 2 sprays per nostril once daily, or 120 days at 1 spray once daily. Track usage or check the dose counter if fitted.
