Following topical administration into the nasal mucosa, Fluticasone propionate produces anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictor effects. The exact mechanism of these actions remains unknown but may involve a reduction in the following: number of mediator cells (basophil, leukocytes and mast cells) at the epithelial level, number of eosinophils, the sensitivity of sensory nerves to mechanical stimuli, secretory response to cholinergic receptor stimulation, and fibroblast activity. Other mechanisms may involve - inhibition of capillary dilation and permeability, stabilization of lysosomal membranes and subsequent prevention of release of proteolytic enzymes.
Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray is absorbed less into the rest of the body, therefore fewer side effects are seen. With the nasal spray, drying of the nose and throat, unpleasant taste and smell and an increase in the incidence of nosebleeds may occur.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Fluticasone Propionate should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether Fluticasone Propionate is excreted in human breast milk. Because other corticosteroids are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray is administered to a nursing woman.
Rare instances of wheezing, nasal septum perforation, cataracts, glaucoma and increased intraocular pressure have been reported following the intranasal application of corticosteroids, including Fluticasone Propionate.
