About

What is Dymista nasal spray?

Dymista nasal spray is a combined steroid and antihistamine treatment for hayfever and nasal allergies.

How does Dymista work?

Dymista contains azelastine hydrochloride, an antihistamine, and fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid. Azelastine reduces histamine release to prevent an allergic reaction being triggered by pollen. Fluticasone reduces inflammation in your nose. Together, azelastine and fluticasone help treat and prevent symptoms such as a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing and itchy or watery eyes caused by hay fever or other nasal allergies.

How effective is Dymista?

Dymista is most effective when it’s used twice a day, every day for as long as it’s needed. The azelastine component of Dymista provides instant relief while the fluticasone component works in the background to prevent symptoms from occurring.

How quickly does Dymista work?

Dymista works quickly within 30 minutes after using it. However, Dymista needs to be used daily as it takes a few days to achieve the best prevention and treatment of your symptoms.

How to use Dymista nasal spray

Before using Dymista nasal spray, shake the bottle for five seconds. If it’s the first time you’ve used Dymista, you’ll need to prime the pump by pressing down six times until it releases a fine mist into the air. When ready, blow your nose into a clean tissue and wash your hands. Look downwards, release a spray into your nostril, breathing in gently at the same time. Breathe out slowly through your mouth and repeat the process for your other nostril. Avoid tilting your head backwards as this can cause the medicine to collect in the back of the throat.

Q&A

Is Dymista preventative or will it fix my symptoms?

Dymista prevents and relieves the symptoms of hay fever. In Dymista there are two components that work together to do this. These are Azelastine, a fast-acting antihistamine, and fluticasone, an effective long-lasting anti-inflammatory.

Can Dymista be used long term?

Dymista can be used long term, under the guidance of your doctor. You can use Dymista seasonally, for example when you will be exposed to allergens such as pollen, dust mites or pet hair for long periods of time.

Can Dymista be used for other allergies?

Dymista is used for allergies that affect the nasal area. This could be hay fever, pet hair or dust mites. Your doctor may recommend that you use Dymista for other allergies if necessary.

Is Dymista a steroid?

Dymista contains two active ingredients; one is an antihistamine (azelastine) and one is a steroid (fluticasone). Fluticasone is a type of steroid known as a corticosteroid. 

Is Dymista safe?

Dymista is safe to use as directed by your doctor. Dymista is not recommended for children under the age of 12 years old.

Is Dymista available over the counter?

Dymista is not available over the counter. You need a prescription from a doctor, such as Dr Felix, to get Dymista.

Is Dymista addictive?
