How Aerobid Affects Patients
Flunisolide is a man-made hormone that helps to reduce inflammation and suppress immune responses. It is available as an oral inhaler for asthma or as nasal spray for allergies, and can help reduce common allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, congestion, and throat itching.
How Aerobid works in the body
Flunisolide is a medication that helps reduce inflammation. It does this by blocking the production of certain molecules that cause inflammation. It also suppresses the immune system, reducing the amount of antibodies and immune cells in the body. Flunisolide works by attaching to a protein in the body called transcortin, which then activates the medication.
