Hay fever is a very common allergy that is usually caused by certain environmental allergens. It is also known as allergic rhinitis if your symptoms are in the nose and allergic conjunctivitis if your symptoms are in the eyes. 
One of the most common allergen is pollens, which come from plants, trees, flowers and even grass. These are fine powders that are used to fertilize other plants of the same species.
Allergic reaction occurs when the pollens enters your nose and comes in contact with lining inside your nose and eyes. This will then release histamine and other chemicals that cause the inflammation either in the nose or eyes. And when this happens, it can be very uncomfortable for the one suffering from this condition.
Flixonase Nasal Spray as a treatment
Fluticasone proportionate is the active ingredient of Flixonase nasal spray that is specifically formulated to help relieve hay fever symptoms. Its active ingredient is known corticosteroids, which are hormones that our bodies naturally produce, which acts as safeguard for inflammatory responses among many others. Thus, Flixonase can help decrease inflammation in the nasal passages as a result of hay fever.
How does Flixonase work?
Once Flixonase is administered into the nose, it is absorbed into the cells of the nasal passages. And then it starts working to help prevent the cells from releasing histamines that is responsible for the allergic response. When this happens, the allergic reaction is stopped and the nasal inflammation is reduced and helps stop the symptoms.
However, I need to warn you that Flixonase does not take effect immediately but will take two to three days to work effectively. Therefore it may be suggested that you use it days before you are exposed to your known allergen to achieve maximum benefit.
How do I get its full benefits?
Adults and children who are 12 years and older should administer two sprays in each nostril once a day. To get its full benefits, you have to use it on a daily basis even after you are completely relieved from symptoms. And it should only be used from 3-6 months for maximum benefit.
