What If I Take an Overdose of Nasalide?
In most instances, an overdose of Nasalide is unlikely to cause serious problems. Even using an entire bottle at once is not likely to cause serious overdose symptoms. However, using too much Nasalide over a long period of time may cause problems.
What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose of Nasalide?
If you forget to take your Nasalide dose, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
Nasalide comes in one strength -- Nasalide nasal spray, containing 200 sprays in each bottle, with 25 mcg of medication in each spray.
Nasalide and
Nasarel™ are similar nasal sprays. They contain an almost identical amount of
flunisolide (29 mcg per spray of Nasarel, compared with 25 mg per spray of Nasalide). However, the inactive ingredients are different, which appears to cause some important differences between the medications. Nasarel is more likely to cause an aftertaste, while Nasalide is more likely to cause nasal burning and stinging. They seem to be equally effective in treating nasal
allergies.
Is There a Generic Version of Nasalide?
Although brand-name Nasalide is no longer available, generic versions of Nasalide are still being made
(see Generic Nasalide).
