Rarely, skin rashes, nasal irritation, liver dysfunction, blood abnormalities, and respiratory symptoms may appear, and severe allergic reactions such as immediate hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis may occur, so if any unusual symptoms appear, use should be discontinued immediately and a doctor should be consulted. Prolonged use of high doses may result in systemic side effects, so caution is necessary, and if symptoms of bacterial infections appear, a doctor should be consulted immediately. Also, regular examinations are necessary to check for changes in the nasal mucosa, and if local fungal infections occur, treatment should be discontinued or appropriate treatment should be received. This medication may increase the risk of exposure to infections such as chickenpox or measles, so checking the medical history and vaccination status is essential, and in cases of infection risk, special caution is needed. When administered to children, growth rates may decrease, so regular monitoring of growth status is necessary, and it is advisable not to use it in children under 2 years of age due to the lack of established safety. Elderly patients may have impaired physical function, so their conditions should be closely monitored during use. In the case of overdose, specific treatment is generally not necessary, but caution is required due to the potential side effects from corticosteroid overuse.
