TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE - NASAL (try-am-SIN-oh-lone
uh-SET-oh-nide)
COMMON NASACORT BRAND NAME(S):
Nasacort
NASACORT USES:
Nasacort is a nasal steroid that works directly on
nasal tissue to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Nasacort is used to treat nasal itching, runny nose,
postnasal drip, nasal congestion and sneezing associated
with allergic rhinitis.
HOW TO USE NASACORT:
To get the most benefit from Nasacort, make sure you
understand how to use Nasacort nasal spray properly.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist to demonstrate the correct
way to use Nasacort nasal spray. Shake Nasacort well
before using. Nasacort must reach the nasal tissue
to be effective. Therefore, blow your nose to clear
the nasal passage before using Nasacort. If passages
are blocked, a nasal decongestant may be used first
(for a maximum of 3 to 5 days) to open the passages
allowing proper penetration of Nasacort. Be sure to
aim Nasacort spray away from the middle of the nose,
that is, away from the nasal septum and toward the
inflamed areas inside the nasal passages. Use Nasacort
exactly as prescribed. Nasacort must be used routinely
to be effective. Do not increase your Nasacort dose
or use Nasacort more frequently than directed without
your doctor's approval. Nasacort may take a few days
before the benefits of Nasacort are noticed. If after
2 to 3 weeks no improvement in symptoms is noticed,
consult your doctor. Use Nasacort with caution if
sores or injuries are present in the nasal passages.
NASACORT SIDE EFFECTS:
Nasacort may cause irritation, stinging, burning,
or dryness of the nasal passages. Sneezing, nosebleed,
headache, lightheadedness, loss of taste, throat irritation
or nausea may also occur. If these effects of Nasacort
continue or become bothersome, inform your doctor.
Unlikely symptoms of Nasacort, but report promptly:
persistent nose or throat irritation/soreness, white
patchy areas. Very unlikely Nasacort symptoms, but
report promptly: broken or damaged nasal membranes,
unusual weakness, weight loss, nausea/vomiting, fainting,
dizziness, vision changes. If you notice other effects
from Nasacort not listed above, contact your doctor
or pharmacist.
NASACORT PRECAUTIONS:
Nasacort should be used with caution if the following
medical conditions exist: glaucoma, herpes-type infection
of the eye, infection, recent nasal surgery or existing
nasal sores, liver disease, tuberculosis, underactive
thyroid, allergies to corticosteroids. Though very
unlikely, it is possible Nasacort will be absorbed
into your bloodstream. Nasacort may have undesirable
consequences that may require additional corticosteroid
treatment. This is especially true for children and
for those who have used Nasacort for an extended period
if they also have serious medical problems such as
serious infections, injuries or surgeries. This precaution
applies for up to one year after stopping use of Nasacort.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details
about Nasacort. Caution is advised in children as
Nasacort may affect growth patterns. Consult child's
doctor. Nasacort should be used only when clearly
needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits
of Nasacort with your doctor. It is unknown if this

into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding
if considering using Nasacort.
