Uses

Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 Mcg (corticosteroid) is a corticosteroid medication used primarily to treat and manage symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis.

Below are the primary uses and benefits of this medication:

Nasal Congestion: Reducing the “stuffy” feeling by shrinking swollen nasal tissues.

Sneezing: Calming the nerves and immune response that Asthma triggers sneeze fits.

Runny or Itchy Nose: Drying up excess mucus and stopping the itch.

Watery/Itchy Eyes: Interestingly, because it reduces the overall allergic response in the nasal-ocular pathway, it often helps with red, itchy, or watery eyes.

How Does It Work?

As a steroid, Furamist works by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages. Unlike “decongestant” sprays (like oxymetazoline), which provide instant but temporary relief, Furamist targets the underlying immune response.

• It usually takes 8–24 hours to start working, and may take several days of regular use to reach its full effect.
•  It is often used daily during allergy season rather than “as needed” for immediate relief.

How To Use It?

Keep in mind a few other instructions at the time of using it, like-

• Gently blow your nose to ensure your nasal passages are open.
• Tilt your head slightly forward (looking down toward your toes).
• Hold the spray in your right hand to spray your left nostril (and vice versa).
• Close the other nostril with a finger.
• Press the pump firmly once while breathing in gently through your nose.
• Do not “sniff” hard. Sniffing forcefully draws the medicine to your throat, where it is less effective and may cause a bad taste.

Dosage

The starting dose provides a total of 110 mcg per day. Once your allergies are under control, your doctor may suggest reducing the dose to 1 spray per nostril (55 mcg total) to maintain relief.

Overdose

Overdose of Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 Mcg can cause different problems related to your vision and nose. For example, putting too many nasal drops can cause stinging irritation in the nose.

Missed dose

It is very important that the patient keeps using the Furamist Nasal Spray 27.5 Mcg daily and completes the entire course as given by the doctors. If you are inconsistent with your dose and do not use it daily, it will not have many effects.
