Allermi vs Sensimist: Compounded Rx vs Gentlest OTC
Flonase Sensimist (fluticasone furoate 27.5 mcg/spray) is FDA-labeled for OTC use in adults and children 2 years of age and older; the eye-symptom indication on the label is restricted to ages 12 and older Expert Triamcinolone is an intranasal corticosteroid that reduces nasal inflammation by suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators (cytokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes) involved in allergic rhinitis. With consistent daily use it gradually controls the inflammation that drives congestion and other nasal symptoms Expert Each active ingredient in Allermi is individually FDA-approved for the treatment of rhinitis. Allermi formulations are prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (section 503A); compounded drug products themselves are not FDA-approved as fixed-dose combinations and are primarily overseen by state pharmacy boards, with FDA conducting surveillance and for-cause inspections Expert Allermi is currently available to eligible patients ages 13 and older across most US states Expert Allermi is not currently prescribed during pregnancy or breastfeeding ExpertReferences
