About FLUTICASONE FUROATE+AZELASTINE
FLUTICASONE FUROATE+AZELASTINE belongs to the class of medications called 'antiallergic' primarily used to treat allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes.

Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods, pollen or pet dander.
