Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that mediates anti-inflammatory actions.
Fluticasone works by attenuating the inflammatory responses associated with asthma, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, and corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. It suppresses the actions of inflammatory cells, such as mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils.

Fluticasone Furoate is used to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis (nose allergy) including stuffy, runny, or itchy nose, sneezing, and watery, itchy, or red eyes.
Fluticasone Furoate is a corticosteroid; it decreases inflammation by reducing the activity of the immune system.
This leads to a reduction in the release of substances that cause allergy symptoms, such as histamine
