Flunisolide for Allergic Rhinitis Prevention

Flunisolide really keeps my sinuses in check and I haven't had a cold since using it. It's been more than 15 years now!

Flunisolide for Chronic Inflammation of the Nose Not due to Allergies

I would highly recommend this for anyone suffering from sinus pain or inflammation. I had a cold that turned into sinusitis, and after taking Augmentin for 7 days and using this spray 3 times a day for 2 days, I started feeling relief.

Flunisolide for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy

Flunisolide has been helping me with my nasal congestion, which was previously triggered by certain foods like dairy. I originally used it as directed, either one spray in the morning and one at night or two sprays at night. However, I recently discovered that using just one puff at night and waiting 15-20 minutes before using the second puff works much better for me. I hope this helps other users who are struggling with similar issues!

Flunisolide for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy

I've been struggling with allergies for four decades now, and this nasal spray is really the only thing that gives me relief. It helps with the inflammation and pain, especially during peak allergy seasons. The taste is a little weird, but it goes away quickly enough. I'm considering seeing a specialist to discuss long-term effects of using this drug.

The spray is painful to use, as other reviewers have noted. However, I found that Nasacort or Nasonex provided much better relief. Flonase also has a strange smell which caused me to discontinue using it.

Flunisolide for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy

Flunisolide for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy

Fluticasone propionate worked great for me until my insurance stopped covering it. They switched me to flunisolide made by Bauch and Laumb as a replacement, and it is an absolute disappointment. Not only does it sting every time I use it, but it also doesn't work well at all. I'm still stuffed up at bedtime.

Patient Q&A Section about flunisolide

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is flunisolide the same as Flonase?

"Nasacort is a brand name for triamcinolone.

No, both are nasal corticosteroids, but they are different medications. Fluticasone nasal spray is the generic name for Flonase (and Veramyst). Triamcinolone is the generic name for Nasacort."

Answered by AI

Is flunisolide an inhaled corticosteroid?

"The purpose of Flunisolide is to prevent asthma symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and coughing. It is classified as a corticosteroid medication and is meant for adults and children aged six and up."

Answered by AI

Is flunisolide a decongestant?

"Flunisolide is a medication used to treat the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, itching, and runny or stuffy nose. This medication may also be used for other purposes; ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions."

Answered by AI

What is flunisolide used for?

"Flunisolide nasal spray alleviates symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, or itchy nose caused by hay fever or other allergies. It should not be used to treat similar symptoms (e.g., sneezing, blocked nose, runny nose, itchy nose) caused by the common cold."

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Asthma

18 - 60
All Sexes
Mayfield Heights, OH

Asthma is a common respiratory condition that can be difficult to control despite the use of medications such as inhalers, oral steroids or even injectable medications. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on technique used to improve the chest structure and function and may help in improving breathing. Previous research showed that OMT in asthma patients, can improve the movement of the ribs and improve the "peak flow" which is the maximum rate at which a person can exhale air after taking a deep breath. However, no studies have evaluated the impact of OMT on lung inflammation. This single-site research study at University Hospitals aims to evaluate whether Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) can reduce lung inflammation and improve breathing and lung function in adult patients with asthma. The lung function will be evaluated by Spirometry which is a test that measures how much air you can breathe in and out of your lungs, as well as how quickly and easily you can exhale air. The lung inflammation will be measured using a device that can detect how much you are breathing out Nitric Oxide which is a gas produced by inflamed cells in the lungs, this test is called: Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide or FeNO. Approximately 100 participants will be enrolled.

Inhaled Corticosteroids + Azithromycin for Asthma

13 - 75
All Sexes
Aurora, CO

While asthma therapy is becoming more individualized based on asthma phenotypes, more research is needed to tailor newer therapies to individuals. Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medications are the foundation of care for all individuals with persistent asthma. But ICS use is not without possible long term side effects. This study will compare two currently available approaches to reduce AEX in primary care patients: (1) use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as part of rescue therapy, also known as MART (Maintenance And Reliever Therapy) or PARTICS (Patient Activated Reliever Trigger Inhaled Corticosteriods) therapy - either of these therapies will be called Rescue-Inhaled Corticosteroids or R-ICS pronounced "Ricks," and (2) use of azithromycin (AZ) as a preventive therapy. These treatments will be studied both individually and in combination.

Salbutamol for Athletic Performance

18 - 55
All Sexes
Vancouver, Canada

β2-Agonists, commonly used to treat asthma, have also been used by athletes to enhance performance, leading to their ban by the International Olympic Committee in 1972. Research has shown non-asthmatics receive no benefit from these drugs at therapeutic dosages; however, many elite athletes still use them, and asthmatic athletes often win more Olympic medals. In some non-asthmatics, β2-agonists may improve breathing limitations during high intensity exercise, which may improve performance. Therefore, we aim to examine if there is a select group of non-asthmatic individuals who experience breathing limitations that may receive benefit from β2-agonists.

PF-07275315 for Asthma

18 - 70
All Sexes
Mobile, AL

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called PF-07275315) for the potential treatment of moderate-to-severe asthma. Asthma is a condition that makes it challenging to breathe, which negatively impacts the quality of life and functioning of people who are affected. This study is seeking participants who: * Are 18 to 70 years old * Have had moderate-to-severe asthma for at least 12 months that is not well controlled * Have been taking their regular maintenance treatment(s) for asthma over the last 12 months All participants will receive PF-07275315 or a placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. PF-07275315 or placebo will be given as multiple shots in the clinic over the course of 12 weeks. We will compare the experiences of people receiving PF-07275315 to those of the people who do not. This will help us determine if PF-07275315 is safe and effective. Participants will be involved in this study for about 9.5 months. During this time, they will have 10 visits at the study clinic.

Corticosteroids for Asthma

18+
All Sexes
Hamilton, Canada

Most individuals with asthma can effectively manage their symptoms and maintain normal lung function using inhaled medications, unfortunately, there is a subset of asthma sufferers whose symptoms, lung function, and risk of asthma attacks remain unimproved despite conventional inhaled medications. There could be several reasons for this. One possibility is that inhaled medications fail to reach the intended areas within the lungs, due to structural abnormalities within the airways themselves. Much like road conditions or closures can impede the speed and efficiency of vehicle travel, factors such as airway narrowing or mucus blockages, which are common in asthma, can obstruct the passage of inhaled medications through the airways. Our team has now optimized advanced medical imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), required to investigate this. This study will use these imaging methods to visually assess and measure individual patients' airways and determine whether abnormal airway structures impact how well they respond to inhaled and orally delivered medications. We anticipate finding that abnormal airway structures make inhaled medications less effective, but that they do not affect the response to oral medications.
