Fluticasone Furoate + Oxymetazoline is a combination medication used primarily to relieve nasal congestion caused by allergies, sinusitis, or the common cold. Fluticasone Furoate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and allergic reactions in the nasal passages, while Oxymetazoline is a decongestant that quickly shrinks swollen blood vessels in the nose, providing immediate relief from a blocked or stuffy nose.
