About Frocsone AZ Nasal Spray 70 mdi

Frocsone AZ Nasal Spray 70 mdi is used to treat allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. An allergy is a condition that occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance. These foreign substances are known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever, pollen or pet dander.
