About Cortispray Nasal Spray

Cortispray Nasal Spray belongs to the class of medicines called corticosteroids. It is used to relieve symptoms of seasonal or year-round allergic rhinitis/hay fever. It treats allergy symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, nose, and throat. Allergic rhinitis is inflammation and allergy of the nose caused by an allergen, such as pollen, dust, mold, or skin flakes from certain animals.

Cortispray Nasal Spray contains 'Triamcinolone' that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers involved in allergic and non-allergic-mediated inflammation. Thereby, it helps treat inflammatory diseases. It relieves nasal and sinus congestion, mucus production, and nasal swelling caused by allergic rhinitis.

Use Cortispray Nasal Spray as directed by your physician. Your doctor will decide the dose of this medicine based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Cortispray Nasal Spray include nose/throat dryness, coughing, sneezing, nosebleeds, and unpleasant taste and smell. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.
