FAQs

1. How quickly does Avamys work?

Avamys can start reducing symptoms within 8 hours of use, reaching full effectiveness within 7 to 10 days of consistent application.

2. What is the recommended dosage for Avamys?

The usual starting dose for adults and adolescents over 12 years is two sprays in each nostril once daily. Once symptoms are under control, the dose may be reduced to one spray in each nostril per day. For children aged 6 to 11 years, the dose is typically one spray per nostril daily.

3. Can Avamys be used during pregnancy?

While nasal steroids are generally considered safe during pregnancy due to minimal systemic absorption, it is essential to consult a doctor before using Avamys if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

4. Does Avamys cause drowsiness?

Drowsiness is not a commonly reported side effect of Avamys, as it primarily targets the nasal passages with minimal systemic absorption.

5. Can Avamys be used long-term?

Yes, Avamys is generally safe for long-term use. However, children using Avamys over an extended period should be monitored, as it may affect growth. Inform your doctor if you experience any visual disturbances during long-term use.
