About Duonase Nasal Spray 9.8 ml

Duonase Nasal Spray 9.8 ml is used to treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, and watery eyes. An allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance that is typically not harmful to your body. Allergic conditions vary from person to person.
