Effectiveness
How Rhinocort Affects PatientsBudesonide is a medication used to help reduce inflammation in respiratory and digestive issues. The dose of budesonide needed varies from person to person, so it is important for patients to discuss their individual risks of developing high levels of cortisol (hypercorticism) or suppressing the adrenal axis.
How Rhinocort works in the bodyCorticosteroids are a type of medication that reduce inflammation. They work by binding to special receptors in the body and changing how genes are expressed. This causes several effects, such as blocking white blood cells from flowing to sites of inflammation and decreasing the production of molecules that cause inflammation. Lower doses of corticosteroids reduce inflammation, while higher doses can suppress the immune system. Over time, these higher doses can also affect levels of sodium and potassium in the body.
When to interrupt dosage
The proposed dosage of Rhinocort is contingent upon the diagnosed sickness, encompassing Vasomotor Rhinitis, Crohn's Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The quantity of dosage is contingent upon the technique of administration (e.g. Enema; Kit; Tablet - Rectal or Respiratory (inhalation)) as noted in the table below.Condition

Rhinocort Toxicity & Overdose RiskIt is uncommon for someone to experience an acute overdose of corticosteroids, but taking them in high doses for an extended period of time can cause an excess of the hormones and suppress the adrenal axis. If an overdose does occur, the dosage of corticosteroids should be reduced temporarily. 200mg of corticosteroids is fatal for female mice and 400mg is fatal for male mice.

Rhinocort Reviews: What are patients saying about Rhinocort?
5Patient Review
4/28/2013 I've found this treatment to be effective and much gentler on my nose than Flonase, which would sometimes give me bloody noses.
5Patient Review
10/11/2016 Rhinocort is vastly superior to Flonase in my opinion. It doesn't gave me headaches, and the effects last much longer throughout the day. I also don't have any issues with taste or dryness, which were both common problems I had when using Flonase.
5Patient Review
12/23/2010 I experience dizziness when using this product; however, it has helped to reduce the inflammation I was experiencing.
5Patient Review
10/11/2016 I've had allergies my whole life, and this nasal spray is by far the best option I've found.
5Patient Review
7/4/2017 I've been using this product for a while now and it has definitely made a difference for me. I used to have to take allergy shots twice a week, but this spray has worked so well that I don't need them anymore.
5Patient Review
4/28/20104.3Patient Review
10/31/2014 I've been using this medication for four months as recommended by my doctor. I can definitely see a positive effect; my sinuses have improved and I experience less nosebleeds. Plus, my allergies don't seem to be as bad as they used to be.
4Patient Review
3/15/2016 I've only been using this for a short while, but it's already miles ahead of the nasalcort I tried previously. That gave me nasty nosebleeds, whereas this has no bad aftertaste and seems to be working quite well. I stick to one spray per nostril to avoid any potential nosebleeds, and so far that's been fine.
4Patient Review
4/16/2013 I noticed a significant difference in my breathing after only a few days of using this product.
2.3Patient Review
4/13/2020 Long-term use of this drug is dangerous. I realized what was happening to me after two years: mild asthma, anxiety, wheezing, and heel pain in both legs. I stopped using the drug for a few days and saw an immediate relief.
1.7Patient Review
7/22/2018 Unfortunately, this was the only nasal spray that made me feel more congested after using it.

Answered by AI
Is Rhinocort the same as Flonase?

Answered by AI
What is Rhinocort used to treat?
"Rhinocort Aqua is a steroid nasal spray used to treat Nasal Congestion, Sneezing, Runny Nose, and nasal polyps caused by allergies."
Answered by AI
What is better Rhinocort or Nasonex?
"Nasonex (Mometasone) and Rhinocort Aqua (Budesonide) are both good options for treating a stuffy or runny nose caused by allergies. Nasonex relieves nasal allergy symptoms and is a good first choice for treatment. Rhinocort Aqua is a steroid nasal spray that works best when used regularly."
