Fluticasone furoate

Fluticasone furoate is a corticosteroid for the treatment of non-allergic and allergic rhinitis administered by a nasal spray.[2] It is also available as an inhaled corticosteroid to help prevent and control symptoms of asthma. It is derived from cortisol.[3] Unlike fluticasone propionate, which is only approved for children four years and older, fluticasone furoate is approved in children as young as two years of age when used for allergies.[4][5]
