Nasacort 55mcg Nasal Spray Information
What Is Nasacort 55mcg Nasal Spray?
Nasacort Allergy Spray is a nasal spray used to treat allergic reactions such as hayfever or dust allergies (allergic rhinitis). This prescription-strength corticosteroid treatment is suitable for adults and children over the age of two, providing 24-hour non-drowsy relief from congestion and itchy or runny nose.
Can I Use Nasacort?
Nasacort is suitable for regular use by adults who are suffering from blocked, itchy or runny nose from hayfever, dust or pet allergies. You should consult our clinical team before using Nasacort if you have recently had nasal surgery, glaucoma, cataracts or an injury inside your nose.
Is Nasacort A Steroid Or Antihistamine?
Although it is effective in treating the symptoms of an allergic reaction, Nasacort is not an antihistamine. Its active ingredient is a corticosteroid, replicating the effects of cortisol. This is a stress hormone which is produced in your adrenal gland and can help reverse the allergic reaction that causes congestion.
How Does Nasacort 24hr Allergy Spray Work?
Nasacort contains the active ingredient triamcinolone acetonide. This belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids. These work by mimicking your body's stress hormone cortisol, suppressing your immune system's over-reaction to allergens, easing inflammation and clearing your nasal passages. This in turn helps to alleviate other symptoms like itching and runny nose.
How To Use Nasacort Spray
Always use Nasacort Spray as directed by our clinical team.
Gently blow your nose to clear your sinuses before using. Then, insert the nozzle into one nostril, closing the other with your finger and breathe in gently while spraying.
Prime the pump before your first use by pushing the nozzle down five times until a fine mist is produced.
Ingredients
The active ingredient in Nasacort Spray is triamcinolone acetonide.
Other inactive ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, carmellose sodium, polysorbate 80, purified water, anhydrous glucose, benzalkonium chloride, disodium edetate and hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Nasacort has some risk of side effects, although not everyone will experience them.
Common side effects include:
- Runny nose
- Headache
- Sore throat and/or cough
- Nosebleeds
- Inflammation or irritation of your airways (bronchitis)
- Indigestion
- Flu-like symptoms
Consult the Product Information Leaflet for a comprehensive list.
Warnings
Speak to our clinical team before using Nasacort if you have:
- Recently had nasal surgery
- Nasal injuries or ulcers
- Glaucoma or cataracts
- Recently transitioned to Nasacort from steroid injections or tablets
Seek emergency medical attention if you experience blurred vision or allergic symptoms including swelling of your mouth, tongue or throat.
Nasacort 55mcg Nasal Spray FAQs
What Is Nasacort 55mcg Nasal Spray?
Nasacort Allergy Spray is a prescription-strength spray that provides 24-hour non-drowsy relief from hayfever and allergy symptoms (allergic rhinitis), including blocked, itchy or runny nose. It is designed for regular use by adults and children over the age of two years.
Do I Need A Prescription For Nasacort 55mcg Nasal Spray?
Yes. Nasacort 55mcg Nasal Spray is a prescription-strength corticosteroid treatment. If you'd like to order it, we'll need you to complete a quick and easy online consultation. Needless to say, your responses are strictly confidential.
Is Nasacort Better Than Claritin?
Nasacort and Claritin work in different ways. Claritin's active ingredient is the antihistamine loratadine whereas nasacort uses the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide. This makes Nasacort very effective in reducing nasal inflammation, while Claritin works by suppressing the immune response that causes the inflammation.
They achieve similar results via different chemical mechanisms. However, Nasacort has fewer interactions with other drugs compared to Claritin.
How Fast Does Nasacort Spray Work?
Nasacort is fast-acting, with most people experiencing relief within an hour, and some in a few minutes. However, regular use will yield the best results.
Can I Buy Nasacort In The UK?
Yes, absolutely. Not only is Nasacort manufactured in the UK, when you order Nasacort from The Independent Pharmacy, you have the peace of mind that comes from knowing you're ordering from a 100% UK-based team that is always available to provide you with the support you need.
Can Nasacort Spray Cause Hives?
Hives are an allergic reaction. All medicines carry some risk of allergic reaction. If you experience hives after using Nasacort Spray, you may be allergic to one or more of its ingredients. Stop using it immediately and contact our clinical team, who can recommend an alternative.
Can I Use Nasacort Spray Every Day?
Yes. Nasacort is designed for everyday use. The usual starting dose for adults is two sprays in each nostril, once per day. You should always use it as prescribed by our clinical team.
Does Nasacort Spray Really Work For 24hrs?
Yes, Nasacort is designed to provide all-day, non-drowsy relief from a blocked, itchy or runny nose caused by allergies (allergic rhinitis). However, it is important to take the spray regularly. It may take two or three days to achieve the best results.
Can I Use Nasacort When Pregnant?
There is limited clinical evidence to determine the effects of Nasacort on pregnant or breastfeeding people or their babies. If you are pregnant or are considering trying to become pregnant, we recommend that you talk to a member of our clinical team before taking this medication.
