How is FLONASE® different from an antihistamine tablet?
FLONASE® Allergy Relief helps block 6 of the allergic responses your body has to allergies while antihistamines only help block 1 of the responses**.
Antihistamines work by blocking the effects of histamine, which is only 1 of the 6 key chemicals released in the inflammatory cascade. The rest of the cascade continues—as do the symptoms.
And unlike allergy pills, which have to travel through the body before providing relief, FLONASE® is a nasal spray that works directly at the source—where you need it most. It is designed to have minimal absorption into the body.1
**Mechanism vs. most OTC pills. FLONASE® acts on multiple inflammatory substances (histamine, prostaglandins, cytokines, tryptases, chemokines and leukotrienes). The exact number and precise mechanism are unknown.
