Nasacort AQ Side Effects

In clinical trials, nosebleed, sore throat, and cough were the most commonly reported Nasacort AQ side effects. These side effects are mild in most cases and generally don't require treatment, but you should seek medical attention immediately if you develop serious side effects of Nasacort AQ, such as frequent or severe nosebleeds, signs of steroid toxicity, and wheezing or other asthma-like breathing problems.

 

Nasacort AQ Side Effects: An Introduction

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Nasacort AQ® (triamcinolone nasal spray). However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
 
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Nasacort AQ. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Nasacort AQ side effects with you.)
 

Common Nasacort AQ Side Effects

Nasacort AQ has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials, in which the side effects of a group of people taking the drug are documented and compared to another group not taking the medicine. As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
 
In these studies, the most common side effects of Nasacort AQ included:
 
  • Sore throat -- in up to 5.1 percent of people
  • Nosebleeds -- up to 2.7 percent
  • Cough -- up to 2.1 percent.
