Before Using

In deciding to using a medication, the chance of taking the drug must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you will make. For corticosteroids, the following must be considered

Allergic reaction

Tell your family doctor if you have any unusual or allergy to corticosteroids. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.

Pregnancy care

In one human study, use of beclomethasone oral inhalation by pregnant women did not cause birth defects or other problems. Other studies on birth defects with beclomethasone, budesonide, dexamethasone, flunisolide, fluticasone, mometasone or triamcinolone have not been done.

In animal studies, corticosteroids taken by mouth or injection during pregnancy were shown to cause birth defects. Always too much use of corticosteroids during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, may cause other unwanted effects in the infant, such as slower growth and reduced adrenal gland function.

If corticosteroids are medically necessary during pregnancy to control nasal problems, nasal corticosteroids are generally considered safer than corticosteroids taken by mouth or injection. Always use of nasal corticosteroids may allow some diseaseds to stop using or decrease the amount of corticosteroids taken by mouth or injection.

Breast-feeding problem

Use of dexamethasone is not recommended in nursing mothers, since dexamethasone passes into breast milk and may effect the infant's growth.

It is not known whether beclomethasone, budesonide, flunisolide, fluticasone or triamcinolone passes into breast milk. Although most medication pass into breast milk in small amounts, many of them may be using safely while breast-feeding. Levels of mometasone are not measurable in breast milk, thus exposure is expected to be low. Mothers who are taking these medication and wish to breast-feed must discuss them with their family doctor.

Use for Children

Corticosteroids taken by mouth or injection have been shown to slow or stop growth in child and cause reduced adrenal gland function. If corticosteroids are medically necessary to control nasal problems in a child, nasal corticosteroids are generally considered to be safer than corticosteroids taken by mouth or injection. Prolonged or high-dose use of nasal corticosteroids may potentially effect growth; although, most nasal corticosteroids have not been shown to effect growth. Always use of most nasal corticosteroids may allow some children to stop using or decrease the amount of corticosteroids taken by mouth or injection.

Before this drug is given to a child, you and your child's family doctor must talk about the good this drug will do as well as the chance of using it. Follow the family doctor's directions very carefully to lessen the risk of unwanted effects.

Elderly care

Although there is no special info comparing use of nasal corticosteroids in the elderly with use in other age groups, they are not expected to cause various side effects or problems in older people than they do in adults people.

Drug interactions

Although certain medication must not be using together at all, in other cases two various medication may be using together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your family doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your health care professional if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription - over-the-counter "OTC " medication, such as:
