When to Use Dymista Nasal Spray?
Dymista Nasal Spray is usually only prescribed when traditional antihistamines don't provide relief. Here's when to use it:
- Preventative Measures: Your healthcare professional will recommend using Dymista before hay fever season begins, as it can reduce your symptoms. If you know you might be exposed to known allergens, you should also use it before to prevent reactions.
- During Symptoms: You can also take Dymista when you're experiencing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
If you've had success with other antihistamines, your doctor may recommend that you continue taking them instead of using Dymista.
Dymista Age Restrictions
Dymista isn't recommended for use in children under 12, as there's no research to prove its safety. If your child suffers from allergic rhinitis, please seek alternative treatments.
How to Use Dymista Nasal Spray?
When using Dymista Spray, please follow these instructions to ensure it successfully prevents and treats your symptoms:
- Shake the bottle for 5 seconds and tilt it upwards, then downwards for each use.
- If you're using it for the first time or haven't used the spray for a week, prime the pump by releasing around six sprays into the air. If a fine mist appears, it's fine to use.
- Blow your nose to ensure the nostrils are clear.
- When applying the spray, tilt your head downward instead of up. Then insert the tip into one nostril and hold the other closed.
- Place the spray tip towards the outer area of your nostril instead of the nasal septum.
- Pump the spray and breathe in gently - don't sniff hard.
- Breathe out through your mouth and repeat the process. Then wipe the tip with a tissue and put the cap back on.

Who is Dymista nasal spray for?
Hay fever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis or perennial allergic rhinitis, affects over 20% of the UK population.
Hay fever symptoms tend to begin at the end of Spring/beginning of Summer, the symptoms of which cause sneezing, blocked nose, runny nose, and red, itchy eyes.
Dymista nasal spray contains antihistamine and steroid medication to relieve symptoms of moderate to severe seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, when intranasal antihistamine and glucocorticoid are insufficient.
While Dymista nasal spray is primarily used to treat hay fever, it is also suitable for year-round allergies caused by animals and house dust.
How does Dymista nasal spray work?
This dual-action nasal spray works to protect against the symptoms of allergies, such as nasal irritation and red, itchy eyes.
Azelastine Hydrochloride acts immediately to reduce symptoms of allergies. Fluticasone Propionate works on the later stages of the inflammatory reaction by reducing inflammation.
Try to use this nasal spray a few days before you think you're going to suffer from allergies. The spray can take up to 30 minutes to work; however, it could take a few days before you begin to feel the full effects.
Can nasal sprays be used long term?
Dymista nasal spray is suitable for long-term use, but only when required. Dymista contains benzalkonium chloride, and long-term use may cause swelling of the nasal airways.
Is Dymista a steroid nasal spray?
Dymista nasal spray is a dual-action nasal spray containing the active ingredients Azelastine Hydrochloride and steroid Fluticasone Propionate.
Is Dymista safe during pregnancy?
If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, speak to a member of our team before using Dymista nasal spray.
Can I take Dymista with alcohol?
Drinking alcohol can worsen or increase the chance of experiencing side effects of Dymista.
However, drinking in moderation whilst using Dymista spray should not cause a problem.
Can Dymista cause a sore throat or a dry mouth?
Dymista can cause throat irritation, such as soreness or dryness in the throat or mouth. If this continues, seek medical advice and talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
How often should I use Dymista nasal spray?
Adults and adolescents should use one spray in each nostril morning and evening - up to four sprays daily. It's essential to avoid exceeding the recommended dose.
How long can I use Dymista for?
You can use Dymista regularly during hay fever and allergy season, or all year if you have perennial rhinitis. If your symptoms last for over three months, please seek advice from your doctor, as they may be able to recommend longer-term treatments.
However, many people use it year-round to prevent and treat their symptoms.
Does Dymista cause drowsiness?
Dymista might cause minor drowsiness and dizziness in some users. If this happens to you, please avoid using machinery and driving.
The effects should disappear once you get used to the medication, but long-term drowsiness and dizziness may mean you need to try an alternative treatment.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
If you forget to take a dose, use it once you remember. However, if it's almost time for your evening dose, we recommend skipping the missed dose and continuing as usual.
How should I store Dymista nasal spray?
