While using this medication, side effects such as headaches, viral infections, pharyngitis, nosebleeds, coughing, and upper respiratory infections may occur.

After spraying this medication in the nasal cavity, rare but severe allergic reactions such as bronchospasm or difficulty breathing may occur; if symptoms arise, stop using it immediately and seek appropriate treatment.

Furthermore, if a fungal infection occurs in the nasal cavity or pharynx, treatment may need to be discontinued or appropriate measures taken. When switching from long-term corticosteroid use to this medication, careful life function monitoring is necessary, as symptoms of adrenal insufficiency could appear, and withdrawal symptoms of systemic steroids could be evident, requiring following a physician's guidance. Particular caution is needed for patients at risk of exposure to chickenpox or measles virus. Severe complications can occur with infection, so vaccination status and medical history should be checked, and immediate consultation with healthcare is necessary if infection is suspected.
