fluticasone furoate (27,5UG/DO) for Nasal congestion

I have used Avamys successfully for more than five years on a daily basis. However, in recent six months I began to notice that some (not all) of the units I buy deliver no effect and do not unblock my nose. Has anyone else noticed this as well?

fluticasone furoate (27,5ug/do) for hayfever

It had a heavy reaction on my head. It was very hard to stay alert. I felt the need to just close my eyes and go to sleep. I have used this medication before but only just figured out it induces sleep. Could the drowsiness be caused by a combination with other medication?

fluticasone furoate (27,5ug/do) for allergy

Really often struggle with a bunged up nose. Was prescribed Avamys and been on it for almost a week. Noticed the difference straight away, can breathe through my nose again. A genuine breath of fresh air. Snore less too. A bit.

fluticasone furoate (27,5ug/do) for Breathing problems

So I was prescribed a nasal spray that I was supposed to test. This worked really well, however I don't find the spray that Avamys uses particularly nice. It's difficult to dose correctly and you feel as if hardly anything is coming out so then you take an extra dose, a spray is supposed to last about 6 weeks. After about 3 weeks there was nothing coming out. I checked to see if there was still...

fluticasone furoate (1mg/ml) for cold

Every year I have a cold, which sometimes lasts a few weeks but sometimes lasts for months, often combined with throat and sinus infections, lots of mucus and bad sleep etc. For me this remedy really makes a difference. I’m less prone to colds and if I get one it only lasts about a week and gives me less breathing problems. All in all I’m very pleased so far. I take 1 puff a day on each side an...

fluticasone furoate (27,5 microgram) for allergy

I've got a nasal polyp which means I sometimes struggle to catch my breath and get panic attacks. I didn't have too many side effects with this spray in the beginning but it's been getting worse and worse every day. Side effects: headache, dizzy, warm, tight chest, shortness of breath. But I don't want to stop because I want to be able to breathe normally again, the other options are cauterisat...

fluticasone furoate (27,5ug/do) for chest infection

As the result of a chest infection, I am virtually deaf on one side, I need to cough all the time, and produce lots of mucous. Initially I was given mometasone furoate by the ENT doctor but I had the same side effects as with Avamys: unbearable headache above my eyes and inflamed sinuses. Neither medicine suits me. I don't know what I'm supposed to do now.

fluticasone furoate (27,5ug/do) for hayfever

This drug definitely works well (my hayfever symptoms disappeared), but it's totally not worth it considering the side-effects. One hour after the first spray --> splitting headache akin to migraine or a severe sinus infection (oppressive painful feeling around the sinuses). I notified the GP and immediately stopped using this drug. Never again! I'm now taking Bellozal hills (orally)
