Flunisoide

 

Flunisolide is a drug often prescribed to treat allergies and prevent asthma. Two different flunisolide products are available: an inhaler and a nasal spray. The inhaler is used to prevent asthma attacks. The nasal spray is approved to treat a stuffy, irritated, or runny nose caused by allergies. Because flunisolide is sprayed directly into the lungs or nose, the rest of the body is exposed to lower steroid levels, compared to steroids taken by mouth or injection. This helps reduce or eliminate many of the side effects associated with long-term steroid use.
