NASACORT-AQ
USES
This
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.
NASACORT-AQ
DIRECTIONS
To get the most benefit from Nasacort-AQ, 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. The medication 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. Use this medication with caution if sores
or injuries are present in the nasal passages.

Nasacort-AQ should be used with caution if the following medical
conditions exist: glaucoma, herpes-type infection of the eye,

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

details. Caution is advised in children as this drug may affect
growth patterns. Consult child's doctor. This medication should
be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss
