| Uses |
| | |
| | Nasacort AQ is a nasal steroid
that works directly on nasal tissue to reduce swelling and inflammation. It is
used to treat nasal itching, runny nose, postnasal drip, nasal congestion and
sneezing associated with allergic rhinitis. | | | |
| Directions |
| | |
| | To get the most benefit from
Nasacort, make sure you understand how to use the nasal spray properly. Ask your
doctor or pharmacist to demonstrate the correct way to use a nasal spray. Shake
well before using. Nasacort must reach the nasal tissue to be effective. Therefore,
blow your nose to clear the nasal passage before using the medication. 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 the medication. Be sure to
aim 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 this medication exactly
as prescribed. It must be used routinely to be effective. Do not increase your
dose or use this more frequently than directed without your doctor's approval.
It may take a few days before the benefits of the medication are noticed. If after
2 to 3 weeks no improvement in symptoms is noticed, consult your doctor. |

| 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 continue or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Unlikely but
report promptly: persistent nose or throat irritation/soreness, white patchy areas.
Very unlikely but report promptly: broken or damaged nasal membranes, unusual
weakness, weight loss, nausea/vomiting, fainting, dizziness, vision changes. If
you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

| 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 this medication will be absorbed into your bloodstream. This may
have undesirable consequences that may require additional corticosteroid treatment.
This is especially true for children and for those who have used this 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 this drug. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Caution
is advised in children as this drug may affect growth patterns. Consult child's
