Nasalide Nasal Spray -- Drug Information
If you have seasonal or perennial nasal allergies, your healthcare provider may recommend a nasal spray called Nasalide® (flunisolide nasal solution). The medication is a steroid. It works to decrease inflammation by limiting the body's ability to produce an immune system reaction. Nasal burning, nasal stinging, and an aftertaste are some of the most common side effects of this product.
Before beginning treatment with Nasalide, information on this medication's potential risks should be fully reviewed with your healthcare provider. Also, tell him or her if you have any other medical conditions or are taking any other drugs, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
(Click Nasalide for more information, including instructions on how to use the nasal spray and details on whether drug interactions are a concern.)
