Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / May 2007Nebulized steroid sprays?
I find steroid nasal sprays to be next to useless in controlling my chronic sinus inflammation. It seems to me that nasal sprays don't reach far enough into the sinuses to control the source of the inflammation. Is there a nebulized steroid spray or other such device available for deeper penetration into the sinuses? This seems to be a better solution than nasal steroid sprays which only work on the anterior nasal regions. > I find steroid nasal sprays to be next to useless in controlling my > chronic sinus inflammation.

There's Naryx (formerly known as SinusPharmacy, SinuNEB, etc.) They develop custom solutions for both nebulization and irrigation. http://www.naryxpharma.com/index.html But back when they were SinusPharmacy, they did some things that really concerned me.

I was on Flonase for about 6 years. I quit using it a couple of months ago. I haven't noticed any difference. ....I think the irrigation by itself does far more to keep the nasal area clear than any nose spray could. ....Plus it's a heck of a lot cheaper too. ..Jon > I was on Flonase for about 6 years.

This basically means that the more often you use it, and the longer, the less effective it becomes. This is in addition to the HPA axis suppression inhaled/nasal steroids are known to cause, impairing immunity overall.

I'm currently on Flunisolide, and it works about the same as Flonaise, Flunisolide is not quite as bad tasting and is slightly thinner. Steroid spray is the only thing that keeps my polyps reduced in size to a tolerable level. Jamffer > I find steroid nasal sprays to be next to useless in controlling my > chronic sinus inflammation.
