Veramyst (Fluticasone furoate) is a prescription medication used to treat seasonal and year-round allergy symptoms like runny nose, itching, sneezing, and red, itchy eyes. Seasonal allergies result from exposure to airborne substances that appear only during certain times of the year. Veramyst is a nasal spray. The active ingredient in Veramyst is Fluticasone furoate. Fluticasone furoate belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids. It works by preventing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
