UGX 20,000UGX 25,000

AVAMYS is used to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis including stuffy, runny or itchy nose, sneezing, and watery, itchy or red eyes. The effects are usually felt within the first day, although some people will not feel the effects until several days after first taking it. AVAMYS contains the medicine fluticasone furoate. This medicine belongs to a group of medicines known as corticosteroids, frequently called ‘steroids’. They are not ‘anabolic steroids’ which are the steroids sometimes misused by athletes.

AVAMYS works to decrease inflammation caused by allergy (rhinitis). Your doctor may have prescribed AVAMYS for another reason.

What do I do if I use too much? (Overdose)

Immediately telephone your doctor or Poisons Information Centre (telephone 131126) for advice, if you think you or anyone else may have taken too much AVAMYS, even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.

If you are not sure what to do, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

 

Things you must do

Tell your doctor if, for any reason, you have not taken your medicine exactly as directed.
