Combinase AQ Nasal Spray

Use Combinase AQ Nasal Spray in the dose and duration instructed by your doctor. Do not use it more often or for longer than recommended. Blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other, and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat for the other nostril.

The most common side effects are taste changes, nosebleeds, and headache. It may also cause nasal irritation or discomfort, sneezing after administration, and dry nose or throat in some people. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects.

Do not take Combinase AQ Nasal Spray if you have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to fluticasone furoate, azelastine hydrochloride, or any excipient in the product. Patients who have experienced previous severe allergic reactions to intranasal corticosteroids or antihistamines should avoid this medicine. It should also be used with caution in patients with recent nasal ulcers, nasal surgery, nasal injury, nosebleeds, or active infections.

• Treatment of Allergic rhinitis

The recommended dose of Combinase AQ Nasal Spray is one spray in each nostril twice daily, in the morning and evening, or as directed by your doctor. The dose and duration of treatment depend on your condition and response to the medicine. Do not exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

• Use Combinase AQ Nasal Spray regularly as prescribed, even if your allergy symptoms improve. Regular use helps maintain symptom control.
• Blow your nose gently before using the spray to clear your nostrils and allow the medicine to reach the nasal lining.
• Keep your head slightly tilted forward while spraying. Avoid tilting it backwards, as this may cause the medicine to flow into your throat and leave a bitter taste.
• Avoid spraying directly onto the nasal septum (the wall separating your nostrils) to reduce irritation and the risk of nosebleeds.
• Avoid getting the spray into your eyes. Rinse your eyes with water if accidental contact occurs.
• Combinase AQ Nasal Spray may cause drowsiness or dizziness in some people. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience these effects.
• Inform your doctor if you have frequent nosebleeds, recent nasal surgery, or an untreated nasal infection before using this medicine.
• Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, cataracts, or changes in vision, as prolonged use of nasal corticosteroids may require eye monitoring.
