ALLERGIES
WHAT CAUSES OUR SYMPTOMS?
Allergens are allergy-causing particles that travel through the air. Below are the most common types of allergens.

ANIMAL ALLERGENS
Minute airborne particles produced by pets like dogs or cats are called “pet dander.”

INDOOR ALLERGENS
These include mold and particles from dust mites. These allergens are with us all year long.

TREE POLLEN
Occurs at certain times of the year and is especially prevalent in the fall.

OUTDOOR ALLERGENS
These are the seasonal allergies that include pollen from grass and weeds.
Allergens enter our body through our nose.

Allergens trigger a response from our immune system.

Inflammatory substances are released, causing your allergic symptoms.

Because of the way it works, it may take several days for FLONASE® to reach maximum effect. That’s why it’s best to use FLONASE® regularly, once a day.
FLONASE® not only relieves nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, itchy nose and throat, but also relieves sinus pain and pressure.
