Ciclesonide nasal spray is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory activity. It is an aqueous suspension of ciclesonide for topical administration to the nasal mucosa by means of a metering and atomizing spray pump. It is necessary to prime the pump before first use or after a period of non-use (4 days or more).
Ciclesonide nasal spray is absorbed less into rest of the body; therefore fewer side effects are seen. However, few side-effects like headache, dizziness, nosebleed, stuffy nose, earache may occur.
Pregnancy category C. Ciclesonide nasal spray should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk of the fetus. It is not known if Ciclesonide is excreted in human milk. Because other corticosteroids are excreted in human milk, caution should be used when administered to nursing women.
Ciclesonide nasal spray should be used with caution in patients with active or quiescent tuberculosis infection of the respiratory tract or in patients with untreated fungal, bacterial or systemic viral infections or ocular herpes simplex. Rare instances of nasal septal perforation, cataract, and glaucoma have been reported following intranasal application. Development of localized infections of the nose and pharynx with Candida albicans has rarely occurred. Although systemic effects have been minimal with recommended doses of Ciclesonide nasal spray, potential risk increases with larger doses. Therefore, larger than recommended doses of Ciclesonide nasal spray should be avoided.
