How the New GSK Allergy Nasal Spray Works

The GSK allergy nasal spray from the consumer healthcare giant provides protection from allergies due to dust, pets, mold and pollen.

As per GSK Consumer Healthcare, Flonase Sensimis Allergy Relief inhibits six important inflammatory substances in contrast to a majority of OTC allergy pills which only work on allergy symptoms causing chemical, histamine.

Additionally, GSK Consumer Healthcare claims that its OTC allergy relief spray, Flonase Sensimist has been demonstrated to be 40% powerful than an unnamed leading non-drowsy allergy drug.

Dr. Clifford Bassett, Founder and Medical Director of Allergy & Asthma Care of New York talking about the new GSK allergy nasal spray said: “For the more than 50 million Americans who suffer from allergies, the burden is more than just a stuffy nose.

“Uncontrolled allergies have a measurable impact on quality of life, affecting children and adults. In my patient population, having a proactive treatment plan in place makes a big difference in managing their allergies.”

Other notable Flonase Sensimist features in terms of its novel ergonomic design are:

  • Alcohol-free
  • Delivers consistent dosing each time
  • Less invasive with the shortest nozzle
  • Little or no drip
  • Scent-free
