Both products contain fluticasone furoate, a corticosteroid nasal spray used for the treatment of symptoms associated with seasonal and year-round allergies. Fluticasone is effective for nose and eye allergy symptoms such as itchy and watery eyes, stuffy or runny nose, itchy nose and sneezing.

Flonase Sensimist is used in adults and children ages 2 years and older.

How is Flonase different from Flonase Sensimist?

The Sensimist formulation may be more acceptable to small children.

Flonase Allergy Relief and Flonase Sensimist are both over-the-counter (OTC) corticosteroid nasal sprays that provide relief from allergy symptoms for 24 hours. Both products contain fluticasone furoate.

Children's Flonase Sensimist is used in children 2 years of age and older while the Children's Flonase Allergy Relief is used in children 4 years of age and older. Neither product causes drowsiness.
