Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

This drug exhibits anti-inflammatory effect due to interaction with the GCS receptors. In this case, suppression of proliferation of mast cells, lymphocytes, eosinophils, macrophages and neutrophils is noted. Due to fluticasone propionate, there is a decrease in the production of inflammatory mediators and other biologically active components, for example: histamine, cytokines and leukotrienes, at an early and later stage of allergic reactions. As a result, the patient's reaction to bronchodilators is restored, allowing to reduce the frequency of their use. The frequency of sneezing, itching in the nose decreases, the runny nose and nasal congestion, discomfort in the paranasal sinuses and a feeling of pressure on the nose and eyes are eliminated.

Reduction in the severity of symptoms, mainly nasal congestion, may persist for at least 24 hours after the administration of a single dose.

Absorption of their gastrointestinal tract into the blood is only about 1% of the dose. However, fluticasone propionate undergoes rapid distribution and a significant ability to bind to plasma proteins. Removal of the drug from the body occurs quickly enough, mainly in the form of metabolites in the bile.
