Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / June 2006Which Steroid spray has no preservatives?
I took Rhinocort, Flonase, nasonex ect.I forgot which one worked the best. Now my Dr. said he would give me all of them (some samples) It was over a year since I took them (seasonal) I hope I get it right the first time. I thought he said one had water/no preservatives and some were in a alcohol weak solution. But dont quote me on this. I just cant remember. I laughed when he said here try them all. He added: Give each 2-3 weeks. The first one I try without preservatives. But which one are they. ?? Wish do most people here like? I use it for imflamation.. And I have polyps so he said nasonex might be good. Im confused more now. ha...

Thank you Nasocort AQ is the one without benzalkonium. However, some work better on individuals than others. Right now I am "hot" for Astelin. Are you the the Dr. Grossan of the grossan irrigator? Astelin is an anti-histamine spray, not a steroid. Rhinocort AQ is the only steroid spray without preservatives. Why do you like astelin so much?

It's so effective on the tissues locally that it can actually abort a sinus induced migraine at times for me. Rhinocort made my noise an irritated bloody mess within weeks. Susan Astelin is an anti-histamine spray, so it's not a nasal steroid. Rhinocort AQ is the only currently marketed steroid spray without preservatives (which can decrease ciliary action.) They market two strengths in Canada--the 32 or the 64, only the 32 in the US, which can mean up to four sprays each nostril a day. Why do you like the astelin? My sister swears by it.

My specialist has changed me from Nasonex to Flunisolide.....does anybody know the DIFFERENCE between these 2 sprays.The second one seems more toxic when I take it. Kindest personal regards, Ray The Travellin' Man.....Ray Armstrong your eyes and ears on the Tweed!!

However, some work better on >> individuals than others. Right now I am "hot" for Astelin. Just as one person gets fabulous results with one antihistamine and the other gets lousy effect, so too various products may work better for one person and not the other. However, in one of the journal articles they claimed they couldn't note a difference in effect of the various cortisone sprays. >My specialist has changed me from Nasonex to Flunisolide.....does anybody >know the DIFFERENCE between these 2 sprays.The second one seems more toxic >when I take it. Flunisolide (Nasarel, Nasalide in the U.S.) is older and does have a slightly higher systemic absorption. Dr. David Kennedy told me that it penetrates better than Nasonex for those who have had surgery so that the sinusess are open enough that some of the spray can penetrate. >The second one seems more toxic > when I take it. What do you mean by "seems more toxic"? |
