Fluticasone furoate is a steroid that helps relieve allergy symptoms by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the body, such as histamines and prostaglandins. These messengers are released by immune cells when the body reacts to allergens like dust, pollen. They cause inflammation, leading to redness, swelling, sneezing, and a runny nose. By stopping these chemicals, Fluticasone reduces irritation and helps you breathe more comfortably.
