About Oxynix-AZ Nasal Spray 70Md

Oxynix-AZ Nasal Spray 70Md 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.

Oxynix-AZ Nasal Spray 70Md is a combination of two drugs: Fluticasone furoate (corticosteroid) and Azelastine hydrochloride (antihistamine/antiallergic). Fluticasone furoate prevents the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. On the other hand, Azelastine hydrochloride works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.
