Dymista Nasal Spray

Dymista is a dual-action nasal spray used to help relieve nasal symptoms of allergies in individuals over the age of 12 years old. Commonly used in hay fever, Dymista contains two active ingredients. The treatment’s active ingredients are azelastine hydrochloride and a steroid called fluticasone propionate. 

Azelastine is an antihistamine that works by interfering with the inflammatory pathway in the body and reduces symptoms such as swelling, redness and itchiness. Meanwhile, Fluticasone is a steroid, which also helps reduce inflammation. Combined, these ingredients are an effective treatment to reduce the common symptoms of hay fever.

Dymista nasal spray is mainly used to treat hay fever caused by common allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis. These include allergies to:

• Pollen
• Animals
• House dust
• House mites

The dual-action nasal spray contains a steroid and antihistamine, and is effective in relieving hay fever symptoms.

The two active ingredients of Dymista nasal spray - fluticasone propionate and azelastine hydrochloride combine to combat hay fever symptoms such as:

• Congestion
• Itchy nose
• A runny nose
• Sneezing
• Itchy eyes
• Red eyes
• Watery eyes

The fluticasone in Dymista is a corticosteroid that works to reduce inflammation in your nasal passages, easing congestion. Azelastine, the antihistamine in this dual-action spray, blocks histamines, the natural substances produced by the immune system that are responsible for allergy symptoms.

Avamys is also a nasal spray that is a treatment for allergy symptoms:

• Relieving congestion
• An itchy or runny nose
• Sneezing and red, watery or itchy eyes

Like Dymista, it contains a steroid - fluticasone furoate is Avamys’s active ingredient. Fluticasone furoate works in a similar way to fluticasone propionate, one of Dymista’s active ingredients, easing inflammation in the nasal passages. Unlike Dymista, Avamys isn’t a dual-action nasal spray and doesn’t contain an antihistamine. While Dymista is primarily for seasonal allergies, Avamys can be used to treat both seasonal and year-round allergies.

There is a slight difference between the normal dosages of Dymista and Avamys. While Dymista is sprayed once into each nostril, once per day, Avamys can be sprayed once or twice into each nostril, once or twice per day, although the Avamys starting dosage is usually once per day. According to research, compared to fluticasone propionate or azelastine used separately, Dymista is more effective in treating symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Beconase – also available as the generic beclomethasone – is another nasal spray that treats allergic rhinitis symptoms. It contains the active ingredient beclometasone dipropionate which, like fluticasone propionate, is in the corticosteroid group of drugs.

Beclometasone dipropionate works in much the same way as fluticasone propionate, working to reduce the activity of the immune system, reducing inflammation and easing congestion to treat common allergy symptoms.

Dymista is intended for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis, such as hay fever triggered by pollen in spring. In comparison, Beconase treats both perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis, including hay fever triggered by pollen, animal hair and skin, dust, and vasomotor rhinitis, a condition that involves the dilation of the blood vessels in the nose. Unlike Dymista, which contains azelastine hydrochloride as one of its active ingredients, Beconase doesn’t contain an antihistamine.

Like fluticasone propionate, Beconase’s active ingredient beclomethasone is used in inhalers for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Beclomethasone also comes in the form of a topical treatment for skin conditions, as well as in tablets for ulcerative colitis.

There are several potential side effects that are shared by Dymista and Beconase – including:

• Runny nose
• Nausea
• Dry throat
• Headache

As with every steroid nasal spray, using more than the recommended dosage of Dymista or Beconase can increase the risk of side effects. While you cannot buy Dymista nasal spray over the counter in the UK, Beconase nasal spray does not require a prescription and can be bought over the counter.

Dymista has been praised by online reviewers for its effectiveness in treating seasonal allergy symptoms and ease of use.

Users have commented that Dymista eased their nasal congestion, allowing them to breathe more easily and sleep better. However, the main problem noted by some users is mild side effects. Among the side effects cited by users are headaches and an unpleasant odour or taste. Nevertheless, many have said the pros certainly outweigh the cons as Dymista works to effectively combat symptoms of hay fever and general seasonal allergies.
