Precautions

This medication should not be used in certain patients. For example, patients who are allergic to this medication or its components, those who have untreated infections of the nasal mucosa, patients who have recently undergone nasal surgery or who have injuries in the nasal passages, and infants under 2 years of age should not use this medication. Additionally, patients with respiratory tuberculosis, systemic infections, frequent nosebleeds, those at risk of exposure to chickenpox or measles, certain nasal polyp patients, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medication with caution. While using this medication, side effects such as headaches, viral infections, pharyngitis, nosebleeds, cough, upper respiratory infections, and others may occur. Nosebleeds can happen frequently, so caution is advised. Rarely, severe allergic reactions such as bronchospasm or breathing difficulties may occur; if these symptoms arise, use of the medication should be stopped immediately, and medical attention should be sought. Prolonged use at high doses may lead to systemic corticosteroid side effects; therefore, regular check-ups and following the physician's guidance are important. If a nasal infection occurs, the use of this medication should be stopped or appropriate treatment should be sought, especially if irritation of the nasal mucosa persists. This medication may affect growth rate, so pediatric patients should be regularly monitored for growth status. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should decide carefully on the use of this medication considering the risks to the fetus and infant. This medication can interact with other drugs, particularly with certain antifungals or antibiotics, potentially increasing the risk of side effects, so caution should be exercised. Before use, shake the container well and perform a spray test to ensure it works normally; care should be taken not to spray directly onto areas other than the nasal passages. Keep out of reach of children and the effects on driving or operating machinery are unknown.
