A member asked:
What's the difference between fluticasone furoate and foxefenadine when treating rhinitis? can a patient react well to one and not to the other?thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Completely different: Fluticasone furoate is a topical nasal steroid in a spray form. It works by reducing inflammation over time through a variety of pathways. Fexofenadine is an oral antihistamine taken by mouth and works by blocking the chemical histamine in our bodies. Overall, the nasal spray does more to reduce allergy symptom scores and may also help with non-allergic conditions such as non-allergic rhinitis.
