Description
Pirinase Allergy is used to treat and prevent the allergic symptoms of hayfever and other airborne allergies e.g. pet, house dust mite and mould spore allergies. It relieves symptoms including sneezing, itchy and watery eyes and a runny, itchy or blocked-up nose, for up to 24 hours.
The active ingredient is fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid which, when used every day, has an anti-inflammatory action and works in a similar way to natural body chemicals to control inflammation. This spray helps to control your body’s reactions to allergens (‘triggers’) in the environment.
Uses / Instructions
Adults aged 18 years and over:
Spray two puffs into each nostril once daily.
Once your symptoms have improved, you may be able to reduce the dose to one puff into each nostril once daily.
If your symptoms are especially bad, you may need to spray two puffs into each nostril twice daily until your symptoms improve.
See patient information leaflet for full details.
