Does there exist newsgroup alt.support.allergies ?  I didn’t think any newsgroup existed by that name.  Maybe you meant to cross-post to alt.med.allergy ?

Response:

Steroid nasal sprays should be used in the minimum dose to control the problem. If once/day was sufficient that’s good, not bad. [this thereby minimizes side effects] Nasonex is a newer more effective steroid nasal spray that only needs to be used once/day. Rhinocort is an older steroid that is weaker and may require twice/day use. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/budesonide_ids.htm Rhinocort "Budesonide Nasal Inhaler Adults and Children 6 Years of Age and Older Individualization Of Dosage: It is recommended that the starting dose for all adults be 256 mcg daily, as either 2 sprays in each nostril twice per day, morning and evening, or as 4 sprays in each nostril once a day in the morning. The effect should be assessed 3-7 days after initiating treatment and then periodically until the patient’s symptoms are stable. If adequate relief of symptoms is not achieved after 3 weeks of treatment, then budesonide nasal inhaler should be discontinued. In patients who do achieve a good result it is desirable, once the maximum benefit seems to have been achieved, to titrate an individual patient to the minimum effective dose. Because of the generally short duration of therapy for seasonal allergic rhinitis, it is usually not necessary to do this. In patients with perennial allergic rhinitis, once adequate relief has been obtained the dose should be gradually decreased every 2-4 weeks as long as the desired clinical effect is maintained. If symptoms return, the dose may briefly be increased to the patient’s starting dose and then returned to the dose the patient was on before symptoms reoccurred."

Response:

I recall reading, when starting Nasonex, that one had to use it every day for a few weeks in order to receive maximum benefit – my experience bore that out but, because Nasonex left me with a burning sensation and I was sometimes reducing my doseage to avoid that, my doctor suggested switching to Rinocourt Acqua (sp?), which I did earlier this week. So far my nose/sinuses are not as clear.  Should I allow the same two weeks or more to get used to the new spray? Anyone else care to comment on the difference between the two?  I was managing alright with Nasonex with reduced doseage – some/most nights only a single spray instead of the recommended two, some nights I skipped, some nights I’d do two sprays. Thanks in advance. -S-
