What is Dymista?
Dymista (azelastine hydrochloride, fluticasone propionate) is a prescription nasal spray used to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis in people aged 6 years and older.
Seasonal allergic rhinitis is a condition where you experience nasal symptoms like a stuffy or runny nose, itching, and sneezing due to allergens such as pollen. Dymista helps reduce these symptoms. It is applied directly to the nose.
Before use, tell your doctor if you have recent nasal surgery, nasal ulcers, or trauma; glaucoma or cataracts; active or latent infections (including tuberculosis); or immunosuppression.
Also, inform them if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications, especially antifungal or anti-HIV drugs, as these can interact with Dymista.
How Does Dymista Work?
Dymista combines two medications to help relieve symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis, such as a runny or stuffy nose, itching, and sneezing.
These two components work in different ways:
- Azelastine Hydrochloride: This is an antihistamine. Histamines are chemicals in your body that cause allergy symptoms like itching and sneezing. Azelastine blocks histamine from attaching to its receptors in the body, which helps to reduce these allergic reactions.
- Fluticasone Propionate: This is a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids reduce inflammation, which is swelling and irritation in your nasal passages caused by allergies. Fluticasone works by decreasing the activity of various cells and chemicals that contribute to inflammation, helping to lessen symptoms like nasal congestion and a runny nose.
Together, these medications provide relief by tackling both the allergic reactions and the inflammation that causes your nasal symptoms.
Dosage Information and Usage
Dosage Form and Strengths of Dymista
Dymista is available as a nasal spray, with each metered spray delivering 137 mcg of azelastine hydrochloride and 50 mcg of fluticasone propionate.
This combination helps relieve allergy symptoms.
Usage
To use Dymista, follow these steps:
- Shake the bottle gently before each use.
- Prime the spray pump by releasing 6 sprays or until a fine mist appears before the first use or if it hasn’t been used for 14 days.
- For each dose, spray 1 spray into each nostril twice a day.
- Avoid spraying into your eyes. If it gets in your eyes, rinse them with water for at least 10 minutes.
- After each use, wipe the spray tip with a clean tissue and replace the dust cap.
- Each bottle provides enough for 120 sprays. Track your usage and discard the bottle after 120 sprays, even if there is still some medicine left.
Storage Information
To store Dymista correctly, keep the bottle upright with the dust cap on at room temperature, between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
Make sure to protect the bottle from light and do not store it in the freezer or refrigerator.
Check the expiration date on the bottle and discard the bottle after using 120 sprays, even if there is still some medicine left, to ensure you receive the correct dose.
Side Effects
Common Side Effects
- Changes in taste
- Nosebleeds
- Headache
Serious but Rare Side Effects
- Sleepiness or drowsiness
- Nasal problems:
- Crusting in the nose
- Nosebleeds
- Runny nose
- Hole in the cartilage of the nose (may cause a whistling sound when breathing)
- Slow wound healing (avoid use if you have nasal sores, recent surgery, or nasal injury)
- Thrush (a fungal infection in the nose and throat; look out for redness or white patches)
- Eye problems: Glaucoma or cataracts (regular eye exams are recommended)
- Immune system issues and increased risk of infections (watch for fever, aches, chills, and fatigue)
- Adrenal insufficiency (symptoms include tiredness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure)
- Slowed or delayed growth in children (monitor growth regularly)
Warnings and Precautions
- Somnolence: Some patients may feel sleepy or drowsy after using Dymista. Avoid activities that require full alertness, like driving or operating machinery. Avoid using Dymista with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants as it may worsen drowsiness.
- Local Nasal Effects: Dymista may cause nosebleeds and nasal dryness. If you have recent nasal injuries or surgery, wait until your nose is healed before using it. Monitor for infections like Candida (thrush) in your nose or throat, especially with long-term use.
- Glaucoma and Cataracts: Using Dymista can increase the risk of eye problems such as glaucoma and cataracts. Regular eye check-ups are important if you have a history of these issues or notice vision changes.
- Immunosuppression and Risk of Infections: Dymista can weaken your immune system, making you more prone to infections like chickenpox or measles. Be cautious around people with these infections, and seek medical advice if exposed.
- Hypercorticism and Adrenal Suppression: High doses or prolonged use of nasal steroids can lead to systemic effects like adrenal suppression. If experiencing symptoms of excess steroid effects, gradually reduce the dose of Dymista under medical supervision.
- Use of Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inhibitors: Medicines like ritonavir that affect liver enzymes can increase the levels of fluticasone in your body, potentially causing severe side effects. Avoid using Dymista with such drugs unless advised by your healthcare provider.
- Effect on Growth: In children, corticosteroids can affect growth. Regularly monitor the growth of pediatric patients using Dymista.
Overdosage
If you use too much Dymista, it may cause side effects due to the azelastine hydrochloride or fluticasone propionate it contains.
For azelastine hydrochloride, which is in Dymista, overdosage is unlikely to cause serious problems, but it might increase drowsiness.
There is no specific antidote for Dymista, so general supportive care should be provided if overdosage occurs.
Keep Dymista away from children to prevent accidental ingestion, which can be harmful.
For fluticasone propionate, long-term overdosage may lead to symptoms of excessive steroid effects, like high cortisol levels. If you think you have used too much Dymista, contact your healthcare provider for advice.
Drug Interactions With Other Medications
No specific studies have been done to check how Dymista interacts with other drugs.
However, the interactions you might see with Dymista are likely to be similar to those of its ingredients.
This means the effects of Dymista when used with other medications may mirror those of azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate separately.
If you’re taking other medications or have any concerns about possible interactions, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider for guidance.
