Medication details

Description

Nasacort Nasal Spray is a medication used to relieve the symptoms of nasal allergies. It is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the nasal passages, relieving congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itching caused by various allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and more.

Directions

Shake the Nasacort spray bottle gently before each use.
Clear your nasal passages by gently blowing your nose.
Tilt your head forward and insert the nozzle of the spray into one nostril, sealing the other nostril by pressing it closed with your finger.
While breathing in gently through your nostril, press down on the spray nozzle to release the medication. Breathe out through your mouth.
Repeat the process for the other nostril.
After use, wipe the nozzle with a clean tissue and replace the cap.
Nasacort is typically used once daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It may take several days to experience the full benefits.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Nasacort Nasal Spray is Triamcinolone Acetonide, a corticosteroid. Each spray delivers a measured dose of this medication to your nasal passages. It works locally to reduce inflammation and allergic reactions in the nasal tissues.

Like all medications, Nasacort Nasal Spray can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include:
