What is Dymista nasal spray?
Dymista is a nasal spray which contains two ingredients:
- Azelastine hydrochloride – an antihistamine
- Fluticasone propionate – a corticosteroid
Azelastine works to reduce the production of histamine, the chemical which causes an immune response. Fluticasone works to reduce inflammation within the nasal passage.
What is Dymista used for?
Dymista is used to relieve symptoms of allergy such as:
- A runny or blocked nose
- Sneezing
- Postnasal drip
- Itchy or tickly nose
Dymista is predominantly used in those who have had limited success with an antihistamine and a nasal steroid.
It is effective at treating symptoms caused by pollen, mould, house mites, pets, or dust.
Is Dymista a steroid?
Dymista is a steroid based nasal spray. The ingredient, fluticasone propionate belongs to the class of medication known as corticosteroids.
How does Dymista nasal spray work?
Dymista has two main ingredients which work together to provide defense against allergy symptoms.
Azelastine is an antihistamine, which works by preventing the release of histamine (the chemical which causes an immune response to allergens such as pollen, dust, house mites and mould).
Fluticasone is a steroid which reduces inflammation in the nasal passage. This helps to relieve symptoms associated with hay fever and allergies.
How long does Dymista nasal spray take to work?
You may start to feel the effects of Dymista from 30 minutes after administration. However, it can take several days of consistent use to feel the full effects from treatment. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, you should start using Dymista a few weeks before the season.
How long does Dymista stay in your system?
Dymista stays in your system for up to 48 hours, with the effects starting to ware off after around 12 hours. To reduce the likelihood of experiencing symptoms, you should continue to use Dymista until the allergen is not present.
Dymista dosage intructions
You should use “One spray twice daily in each nostril”.
It is important to use Dymista spray regularly, to benefit from the full effects of treatment.
