Fluok-Ox Nasal Spray 70 MDI is used to treat perennial allergic rhinitis. Perennial allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory condition which can occur for an hour or last for more days throughout the year. Symptoms may include sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. 

Fluok-Ox Nasal Spray 70 MDI is a combination of Fluticasone furoate (corticosteroid) and Oxymetazoline (decongestants). Fluticasone furoate inhibits the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. On the other hand, Oxymetazoline contracts and narrows the blood vessels in the linings of nasal passages. Thus, it helps provide relief from allergic rhinitis.
