Eye Problems
Use Dymista with caution if you have a history of glaucoma, cataracts, or other eye problems. The fluticasone in Dymista is a corticosteroid, and long-term corticosteroid use may increase the risk of certain eye problems.
Tell your healthcare provider if you develop blurred vision, eye pain, or other changes in your eyesight.
Recent Nasal Surgery, Injury, or Sores
Tell your healthcare provider if you have recently had nasal surgery, an injury to your nose, or sores inside your nose.
Corticosteroids can slow wound healing, so Dymista may not be appropriate until the area has healed.
Weakened Immune System
Use Dymista carefully if you have a weakened immune system or take medicines that suppress your immune system.
Corticosteroids may make it harder for your body to fight certain infections. Tell your healthcare provider if you develop fever, persistent illness, or other signs of infection.
Liver Problems
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease.
Fluticasone is processed by the liver, so liver problems may increase the amount of medication in your body and raise the risk of side effects.
Drowsiness and Dizziness
The azelastine in Dymista may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or reduced alertness in some people.
Until you know how Dymista affects you, use caution when driving, operating machinery, or doing other activities that require concentration.
Increased Risk of Infection
Long-term corticosteroid use may increase the risk of certain infections.
Tell your healthcare provider if you develop persistent nasal irritation, sores, fever, or signs of a fungal or other infection while using Dymista.
Medication Interactions
Dymista can interact with certain medicines, particularly drugs that strongly affect how fluticasone is broken down in the body.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take. This is especially important if you use certain antifungal medicines, HIV treatments, or other medications that affect liver enzymes.
Allergic Reactions
Do not use Dymista if you have had an allergic reaction to azelastine, fluticasone, or any ingredient in the nasal spray.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or another severe allergic reaction.
Not for Asthma Attacks
Dymista is a nasal allergy medicine and should not be used to treat an acute asthma attack or sudden breathing problem.
If you have asthma, continue using your prescribed asthma medications as directed by your healthcare provider.
Adrenal Suppression
Because Dymista contains a corticosteroid, very high exposure or prolonged use may rarely affect the body’s natural production of steroid hormones.
This risk may be higher when Dymista is used with certain medicines that increase fluticasone levels in the body.
Important Reminder
Use Dymista only as directed by your healthcare provider. Tell them about any eye problems, nasal injuries or surgery, infections, liver disease, immune system problems, or other medications before starting treatment.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop frequent nosebleeds, persistent nasal sores, vision changes, severe drowsiness, or signs of infection.
