WHAT NASACORT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Nasacort contains a medicine called triamcinolone acetonide. This
belongs to a group of medicines
called corticosteroids which means it is a type of steroid. It is
given as a spray in the nose to treat the
nasal symptoms of allergic rhinitis in adults and children 2 years of
age and over.
Nasal symptoms of allergy include sneezing, itching, and having a
blocked, stuffy or runny nose.
These can be caused by things such as:
•
Animal fur or house dust mites. This type of allergy can happen at any
time of the year and is
called ‘perennial allergic rhinitis’.
•
Pollen. This type of allergy, such as hay fever, can be caused by
different pollens in different
seasons of the year. This is called ‘seasonal allergic rhinitis’.
This medicine only works if used on a regular basis and may not help
your symptoms straight away. It
helps some people within the first day of treatment, however, for
other people
it
may take 3 to 4 days
to feel a relief.
