Rhinocort Aqua
® (
budesonide nasal spray) is a prescription nasal spray often used for treating seasonal and year-long nasal
allergy symptoms. By decreasing inflammation, it can help relieve sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, and nasal itching.
Although it is often thought that nasal steroids take longer to start working (compared to other allergy medications), studies have shown that nasal symptoms usually improve within 10 hours of starting Rhinocort Aqua nasal spray.
You should talk to your healthcare provider before using this medication if you have never had
chickenpox or the
measles, have sores or injury to the inside of your nose, or have
tuberculosis. While most people tolerate Rhinocort Aqua nasal spray well, potential side effects include nosebleeds, sore throat, and coughing.
