Información de la droga para FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE Nasal Spray, 50 mcg (Roxane): DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Patients should use Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray at regular intervals for optimal effect.

The recommended starting dosage in adults is two sprays (50 mcg of fluticasone propionate each) in each nostril once daily (total daily dose, 200 mcg). The same dosage divided into 100 mcg given twice daily (e.g., 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.) is also effective. After the first few days, patients may be able to reduce their dosage to 100 mcg (one spray in each nostril) once daily for maintenance therapy.

Patients should be started with 100 mcg (one spray in each nostril once daily). Patients not adequately responding to 100 mcg may use 200 mcg (two sprays in each nostril). Once adequate control is achieved, the dosage should be decreased to 100 mcg (one spray in each nostril) daily.

The maximum total daily dosage should not exceed two sprays in each nostril (200 mcg/day). (See Individualization of Dosage and Clinical Trials sections.)

Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray is not recommended for children under 4 years of age.
