Can RHINOCORT AQUA help me manage my nasal allergies?

RHINOCORT AQUA (budesonide) is for the management of seasonal and year-round nasal allergy symptoms in adults and children 6 years of age and older. The active ingredient in RHINOCORT AQUA is called budesonide (pronounced bew-des-ah-nide).

When taken as prescribed, nasal steroids can be an effective treatment option for nasal allergies. Because nasal steroids like RHINOCORT AQUA are sprayed into the nose rather than swallowed, they work directly on the affected tissues to reduce the inflammation that accompanies nasal allergy symptoms.

Indication and Important Safety Information

  • RHINOCORT AQUA (budesonide) is for the management of seasonal and year-round nasal allergy symptoms in adults and children 6 years of age and older.
  • The most commonly observed side effects associated with the use of RHINOCORT AQUA in clinical studies were nosebleed, sore throat, nasal irritation, cough and breathing difficulties such as wheezing, chest tightening or coughing due to airway constriction.
  • Your doctor may prescribe RHINOCORT AQUA at a dose of 1 to 4 sprays per nostril once daily. Take RHINOCORT AQUA exactly as directed.
  • Your nasal allergy symptoms may begin to improve within 10 hours after first using RHINOCORT AQUA. In one group of patients that were studied, RHINOCORT AQUA and the nasal spray mometasone furoate (a medication used for comparison in the study) both improved nasal allergy symptoms within 8 hours. However, you must continue to take your medication every day, as directed by your doctor. Your nasal allergy symptoms will continue to improve over the first few days, and maximum relief may take about 2 weeks to achieve.
