Mechanism of action
Fluticasone furoate is an inhaled corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the airway, suppressing inflammatory cytokine production and reducing mucosal inflammation. Fexofenadine is a selective H1-receptor antagonist that blocks histamine-mediated allergic responses without significant central nervous system penetration. Together, they address both the inflammatory and allergic components of respiratory allergic disease.
