Fluticasone furoate: the molecule in FLONASE SENSIMIST

FLONASE SENSIMIST is an enhanced-affinity glucocorticoid with potent anti-inflammatory activity. FLONASE SENSIMIST is designed for targeted onsite activity in the nose, at the source of the most bothersome symptoms1,2

  • Has a high affinity for glucocorticoid receptors where it exhibits increased intrinsic activity3,4
  • Because it is designed for targeted, onsite activity in the nasal mucosa, systemic absorption of FLONASE SENSIMIST is low5,6

FLONASE SENSIMIST blocks the allergic cascade

  • Unlike oral antihistamines, which only block histamine, FLONASE blocks 6 of the key inflammatory mediators, including histamine, cytokines, leukotrienes, chemokines, prostaglandins, and tryptases3
  • This results in early and late phase suppression of the allergic cascade3
  • In addition, FLONASE binds to the glucocorticoid receptor to shut off proinflammatory genes and induce anti-inflammatory genes3

When nasal allergies strike, do more to block the allergic cascade. Antihistamines target just one key inflammatory mediator.

FLONASE SENSIMIST allergy relief works to block 6 key inflammatory mediators and provides more complete relief.
