About Nazomac Plus Nasal Spray

Nazomac Plus Nasal Spray 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 that is typically not harmful to your body. These foreign substances are known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods, pollen or pet dander. 

Nazomac Plus Nasal Spray combines two drugs: Fluticasone furoate (corticosteroid) and Azelastine (antihistamine/antiallergic). Fluticasone furoate prevents the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. On the other hand, Azelastine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Together, Nazomac Plus Nasal Spray provides relief from allergic symptoms.

Medicinal Benefits

Nazomac Plus Nasal Spray is a combination of two drugs: Fluticasone furoate and Azelastine, used to treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes.

It stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions, thereby providing relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort. Azelastine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Together Nazomac Plus Nasal Spray relieves allergic symptoms, including seasonal allergies and reduces inflammation of nasal passage.
