Fluticasone furoate, sold under the brand name Flonase Sensimist among others, is a corticosteroid for the treatment of non-allergic and allergic rhinitis administered by a nasal spray.[6] It is also available as an inhaled corticosteroid to help prevent and control symptoms of asthma. It is derived from cortisol.[7] 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.[8]
It was approved for medical use in the United States in April 2007, and in the European Union in November 2008.[9][10] In 2023, fluticasone was the 26th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 21million prescriptions.[11]
