Overview

When hayfever or year-round allergies leave you congested, sneezing, and struggling to breathe comfortably, Avamys nasal spray delivers targeted relief straight to your nose. Its powerful anti-inflammatory action calms swollen nasal passages, easing congestion, sneezing, and runny nose so you can breathe freely again. Used once daily, Avamys helps keep allergy symptoms under control all day long — letting you focus on living life, not managing hayfever.

This medicine requires a secure online consultation with a UK-registered prescriber, and will only be supplied if clinically appropriate.


What is Avamys


Avamys contains fluticasone furoate, a corticosteroid nasal spray that targets inflammation inside the nasal passages caused by allergic rhinitis. Unlike antihistamines, which block histamine after it is released, Avamys works at the root of the allergy response, reducing swelling and irritation to both prevent and relieve symptoms.

It is commonly prescribed for seasonal hay fever (allergic rhinitis) as well as year-round allergies triggered by dust mites, pets, or mould. By working directly in the nose, Avamys helps ease nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and itching, and it may also reduce itchy or watery eyes linked to hay fever.

With just one daily dose, Avamys provides 24-hour relief and is suitable for long-term use under medical supervision, making it a reliable choice for ongoing allergy management.

Directions

  • Adults (18+): Two sprays into each nostril once daily
  • Once symptoms are controlled, dose may be reduced to one spray per nostril once daily
  • Shake the bottle before each use
  • Use consistently — full benefit may take 2–3 days
  • Continue throughout allergy season, or year-round if advised by your prescriber

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Avamys (fluticasone furoate nasal spray) can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most are mild and temporary, improving as your body adjusts to treatment.

Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

  • Nosebleeds – usually mild and short-lived, more likely with long-term use.
  • Headache – typically mild and temporary, easing with rest or simple pain relief if required.
  • Irritation in the nose or throat – a burning, stinging, or sore feeling may occur after application but often settles quickly.


Less common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

  • Dryness in the mouth or nose – some people may notice dryness or discomfort, which is usually mild.
  • Altered sense of smell – a temporary change in how things smell, which normally improves with continued use.


Rare but serious (seek urgent medical advice):

  • Blurred vision or eye pain – may indicate raised pressure in the eye and should be assessed promptly.
  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) – symptoms include swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or a sudden rash. This is extremely rare but requires immediate medical attention.


Most people tolerate Avamys well, and side effects (if they do occur) are generally mild. If you are concerned about any symptoms, or they do not improve, speak to your doctor, pharmacist, or prescriber.

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medicine for full details. If you experience severe or worrying symptoms, seek medical advice straight away. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

  • Are allergic to fluticasone furoate or any ingredients in the spray
  • Have frequent nosebleeds or ongoing nasal infections
  • Have recently had nasal surgery or injury
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding (speak to your prescriber first)
