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.[9] It is also available as an inhaled corticosteroid to help prevent and control symptoms of asthma. It is derived from cortisol.[10] 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.[6][11]
It was approved for medical use in the United States in April 2007, and in the European Union in November 2008.[12][8] In 2021, fluticasone was the 23rd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 25 million prescriptions.[13][14]
