The Role of RHINOCORT AQUA

Many people with nasal allergies find that RHINOCORT AQUA helps provide the nasal allergy relief they need, without the ingredients they don't—such as alcohol or fragrance. Of course, only your doctor can decide if RHINOCORT AQUA may be right for you.

If you are currently treating your nasal allergies, but you aren't getting satisfactory improvement in your nasal symptoms, it may be a good idea to call your doctor. The two of you can discuss whether adding RHINOCORT AQUA to your current nasal allergy treatment plan may be right for you. RHINOCORT AQUA nasal spray can help you manage your nasal allergy symptoms as well as the underlying inflammation that causes them.

You should discuss whether your insurance coverage for certain prescription allergy medications has changed. If your doctor doesn't know, you should be able to find this out from your third-party provider. With this information, your doctor will be able to choose the right allergy treatment for you.

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.
