Veramyst Fluticasone Furoate Review

Veramyst, otherwise known generically as Fluticasone Furoate, is a newer prescription nasal allergy spray on the market.  I am an NP and prescribe this drug daily. Additionally, I use it daily.  One spray to each nostril works pretty well per day for me but adults can go up to 2 sprays/day -- at once or divided twice per day.  It's approved for kids older than 2 and is on the formulary for most insurances.  GlaxoSmithKline also provides samples and coupons to most physicians and nurse practitioners so don't forget to ask at your next visit.  I love it because it works where you need it the most -- locally at the nose.  Also, it is the only nasal allergy spray approved by the FDA for eye allergy symptoms such as watery, itchy eyes.  I think it works better than my daily allergy pill.  Only real side effects would be a bloody nose since it is a nasal steroid but I've never had a problem.
