Effectiveness
How Nasarel Affects PatientsFlunisolide is a type of hormone that eases inflammation and suppresses the body's immune response. It can be taken as an inhaler or a nasal spray to treat asthma or allergies respectively. The nasal spray is used to reduce the common allergic symptoms such as runny nose, stuffiness, postnasal drip, sneezing, and throat itching.
How Nasarel works in the bodyFlunisolide is a medication that works by targeting the glucocorticoid receptor. It does this by making proteins called lipocortins, which stop the body from making inflammatory molecules like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Additionally, it weakens the immune system by stopping the lymphatic system from working properly, reducing the number of immune cells, and stopping certain molecules from connecting to each other. Flunisolide is activated when it is not bound to a particular protein in the blood.
