Buy Dymista nasal spray to help relieve nasal allergies

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.

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.
