The ear, nose and throat doctor that we have been to one time has prescribed
Nasacort AQ for my 3 year-old son's vasomotor rhinitis. The patient
information I have read says that the safety and efficacy of the product have
not been determined for children under 6. Info. I have read online says it is
not recommended for children under 4 due to lack of testing. So do I trust
this doctor or should I not be giving this to my child?

Thanks for any advice,

Kat

Good for you for looking at the information. I would talk to the pharmacist
that filled your Rx or another RPh at another establishment. Some of the
answers that you might get in here may not be from RPh's, like me for
example.
