Nasoflu 50mcg Nasal Spray

Nasoflu is a synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory properties. It is formulated as an aqueous suspension of microfine fluticasone propionate, designed for topical intranasal use via a metered, atomizing spray pump. Each bottle delivers 120 precisely measured sprays for consistent dosing.

After intranasal administration, fluticasone propionate exerts anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive effects on the nasal mucosa. Although the exact mechanism is not fully understood, its action is believed to involve:

Reduction in inflammatory mediator cells such as basophils, leukocytes, mast cells, and eosinophils

Decreased sensitivity of sensory nerves to mechanical stimuli

Suppression of glandular secretions stimulated by cholinergic receptors

Inhibition of fibroblast activity

Reduced capillary dilation and permeability

Stabilization of lysosomal membranes, preventing release of inflammatory enzymes

Fluticasone Propionate 93 mcg/spray

1–2 sprays in each nostril twice daily

Maximum daily dose: 744 mcg

⚠️ Regular use is essential for optimal effectiveness. Use as directed by a physician.
