About FLUTIVATE OINTMENT 20 GM

  • FLUTIVATE OINTMENT 20 GM is a synthetic corticosteroid medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as glucocorticoids. It is primarily used to reduce inflammation and swelling in the airways, making it effective in the treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis. FLUTIVATE OINTMENT 20 GM is available in various forms, including nasal sprays and inhalers, and it works by reducing the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. This medication is commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals to help manage respiratory conditions and improve breathing.

  • Is used in allergic rhinitis.
  • Aids in managing nasal congestion.
  • Helps relieve sneezing.

How FLUTIVATE OINTMENT 20 GM Works

  • FLUTIVATE OINTMENT 20 GM works by reducing inflammation in the airways and nasal passages, thereby relieving symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, and difficulty breathing.
  • FLUTIVATE OINTMENT 20 GM exerts its therapeutic effects by acting as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. When administered as an inhaler or nasal spray, it targets the airways or nasal passages, respectively. The medication binds to glucocorticoid receptors within cells, triggering a cascade of biochemical reactions that result in the inhibition of inflammatory processes. FLUTIVATE OINTMENT 20 GM suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduces the recruitment of inflammatory cells, and inhibits the release of chemical mediators involved in allergic responses. These actions help decrease swelling, mucus production, and airway hyperresponsiveness. By reducing airway inflammation, FLUTIVATE OINTMENT 20 GM improves breathing, alleviates symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath, and helps prevent asthma exacerbations. In allergic rhinitis, it attenuates nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, and rhinorrhea. FLUTIVATE OINTMENT 20 GM local action minimizes systemic exposure, thereby reducing the risk of systemic side effects associated with corticosteroid use.
