Dr Gary Stiefel, chair of the Allergy UK Health Advisory Board and a consultant in paediatric allergy, said:

Fluticasone proportionate 0.05% nasal spray is extremely safe and can be very effective if used alone or in conjunction with non-sedating antihistamines for the treatment of hay fever.  

Its use in children from 12 years of age will significantly help large numbers of children who suffer from hay fever and we are supportive of this additional medicine.  

It is important to ensure that young people are shown how to use the device correctly. www.itchysneezywheezy.co.uk
