What conditions can Avamys be used for?
Avamys (fluticasone furoate) belongs to a group of medicines called glucocorticoids. Avamys works to decrease inflammation caused by allergy (rhinitis) and therefore reduce symptoms of allergy.
Avamys nasal spray is used to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis including stuffy, runny or itchy nose, sneezing and watery, itchy or red eyes, in adults and children aged 6 years and over.
Allergy symptoms can occur at specific times of the year and be caused by allergy to pollen from grass or trees (hayfever), or they can occur all year round and be caused by allergy to animals, house-dust mites or moulds to name some of the most common.
Get StartedHow to use Avamys
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Don’t exceed the recommended dose. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you’re not sure.
Who cannot use Avamys
Avamys should not be used at the same time with other nasal sprays containing steroids. Do not use Avamys if you are pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant, unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.

Get StartedPregnancy and breastfeeding
There is insufficient evidence on the safety profile during pregnancy. Animal studies have shown some foetal abnormalities. There is a small risk of similar effects occurring on a human foetus and therefore the use of the cream should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Side effects
Betamethasone with Clioquinol Cream is usually well tolerated, but as the case with all medication, it can cause some unwanted side effects. Some of these include –
- Hypersensitivity reactions (itchy, burning, inflamed skin, etc.)
- Prolonged use of steroid preparations can cause skin atrophy such as thinning of the skin.
- In rare cases where the treatment is being used for psoriasis, it can provoke the pustular form of the condition.
- It can exacerbate the symptoms you are aiming to treat.
