Flucort Nasal Spray is indicated for the management of the nasal symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic and nonallergic rhinitis in adults and pediatric patients 4 years of age or older.
Safety and effectiveness of Flucort Nasal Spray in children below 4 years of age have not been adequately established.
Adults: The recommended starting dosage in adults is 2 sprays (50 mcg of fluticasone propionate each) in each nostril once daily (total daily dose, 200 mcg).
The same dosage divided into 100 mcg given twice daily (eg, 8 am and 8 pm) is also effective. After the first few days, patients may be able to reduce their dosage to 100 mcg (1 spray in each nostril) once daily for maintenance therapy. Some patients (12 years of age and older) with seasonal allergic rhinitis may find as needed use of 200 mcg once daily effective for symptom control. Greater symptom control may be achieved with scheduled regular use.
Adolescents and Children (4 Years of Age and Older): Patients should be started with 100 mcg (1 spray in each nostril once daily). Patients not adequately responding to 100 mcg may use 200 mcg (2 sprays in each nostril). Once adequate control is achieved, the dosage should be decreased to 100 mcg (1 spray in each nostril) daily.
The maximum total daily dosage should not exceed 2 sprays in each nostril (200 mcg/day).
Flucort Nasal Spray is not recommended for children under 4 years of age.
Shake gently before use.
