How Omnaris Affects Patients
Ciclesonide 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 body
Ciclesonide 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.
