This medication may cause side effects such as itching, irritation, and dryness in the nasal and pharyngeal areas, and it may rarely result in symptoms such as hives, nosebleeds, headaches, or cough. Prolonged use at high doses may lead to systemic corticosteroid side effects, requiring regular check-ups. If inflammation or Candida infection occurs in the nasal mucosa, discontinue use and seek appropriate treatment. This medication may be associated with changes in vision or ocular diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts; if there are abnormalities in vision, consult an eye specialist immediately. This medication may interact with other drugs, particularly increasing the risk of side effects when used with CYP3A4 inhibitors. Pediatric patients should be regularly monitored for growth delays. Elderly patients should use it with caution due to potentially different drug responses from decreased bodily function. In cases of overdose, special treatment is typically not needed; however, long-term excessive use may suppress adrenal function, so caution is advised.
