Effectiveness

How Omnaris Affects PatientsCiclesonide works by being broken down into a metabolite (des-ciclesonide) once it is inhaled. Des-ciclesonide has anti-inflammatory properties and is very strong compared to ciclesonide itself. It is not fully understood how ciclesonide works to treat allergic rhinitis, but it is believed to work by affecting cells and substances (like histamine and cytokines) that are involved in inflammation.
How Omnaris works in the bodyCiclesonide works by reducing inflammation in the body. It does this by targeting cells that cause inflammation and restricting their movement and activity. It also reduces the production of substances that create swelling and pain. Ciclesonide works by activating certain receptors in cells, which causes changes in the expression of certain genes that control the inflammatory response. This includes suppressing the expression of the gene that produces interleukin 2, a substance that causes inflammation.

Omnaris Reviews: What are patients saying about Omnaris?

Omnaris for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy
This is the best. Flonase and Nasonex have decongestants built in, which often leads to side effects like anxiety or sleep issues. This doesn't have that problem!

Omnaris for Seasonal Runny Nose
This treatment is really effective for me in reducing ragweed allergies. I've been using it for over five years now and it makes a big difference during the high-pollen months.

Omnaris for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy
I have to switch to a different nasal spray when my seasons are done because Omnaris gives me horrific headaches - dries me up too much during the fall/winter months. But it's extremely effective for spring/summer.

Omnaris for Non-Seasonal Allergic Runny Nose
I'm a new user, and this nose spray has been a lifesaver. I've tried seven different scripts ( all for different medications) and none of them have worked as well as this one. Thank you!
