Mometasone Furoate is the preferred intranasal steroid for allergic rhinitis. If fluticasone is required, prescribe as fluticasone furoate in Primary Care (less costly option). Prices may vary in secondary care. NOTE: ASPH restrict fluticasone furoate to use in paediatrics due to smaller nozzle size.

Committee Recommendations (1)

02 Apr 25 - Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

Fluticasone is considered to be a 3rd line agent for nasal allergic rhinitis - see local guidelines below. 

If fluticasone is necessary, prescribe as Avamys (fluticasone furoate 27.5mcg/dose).

Avamys is approxiamtely 40% less expensive than generic scripts for fluticasone propionate or branded Flixonase.
