Corticosteroids - Nasal
Corticosteroids *** Before Using *** How to Use *** Fore Safe Use *** Side Effects
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:
-
Ephedrine
-
Phenobarbital
-
Rifampin - Rifadin Ephedrine, phenobarbital and rifampin
may decrease the blood levels of nasal corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone,
warranting an increase in corticosteroid dose
