Pirinase Allergy 0.05% w/w Nasal Spray (fluticasone propionate)
Prevent and Protect with Pirinase
In the UK, allergic rhinitis is common, affecting between 10-15% of children and 26% of adults.1 This condition can really affect patients’ quality of life and sometimes impact school and work attendance.1
Some patients will suffer more severely with allergy symptoms than others, and may experience both early phase symptoms (e.g. itchy / red / watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing) and late phase symptoms (e.g. nasal congestion, sinus discomfort etc).2
Intranasal Corticosteroid Sprays (INCS), such as Pirinase, work directly in the nose and are highly effective at preventing and relieving symptoms of both early and late-phase reactions.3
INCS provide superior nasal relief to oral antihistamines4 and are recommended by NICE as the most efficacious first line treatment for allergic rhinitis.5 Recommend Pirinase for unbeatable strength*6 symptom relief.
*OTC medicines only
Pirinase treats a range of allergies, not just hayfever
Pirinase can be recommended for the prophylaxis and treatment of allergic rhinitis caused by:
- Pollen

Pirinase is non-drowsy and provides symptomatic relief of all major symptoms of allergic rhinitis including:
- Runny nose

- Nasal blockage and sinus
- Discomfort and pressure
- Itchy and tearing eyes
So patients can get back to enjoying life without these irritations.
