Allergic rhinitis: This is a common medicine for patients with allergies.  It will work for other problems, like non-allergic rhinitis or even vasomotor rhinitis.  It is a great drum.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Kenalog (triamcinolone): It is triamcinolone which is a steroid.

Question 6

is triamcinolone cream non prescrption?

Accepted Answer

Not yet: This is a strong topical steroid cream which is currently only available by prescription (except in other countries).  If you need a steroid cream, start with over the counter cortizone (hydrocortisone) cream and hopefully that will do the job (and is much cheaper).  Otherwise you will need to get an rx from your medical doctor.

Question 7

what are the possible side effects of putting triamcinolone on your face?

Accepted Answer

Skin atrophy: As mentioned in a prior answer, any of the strong cortisone creams, should be avoided on the face, because repeated use for longer periods of time will cause atrophy of tissue.  This can be true of a cortisone shot too.  If you received a cortisone shot, months later there may be a small puckered area where the fat layer of the skin atrophied.

Question 8

how long can i take nasacort (triamcinolone)?

Accepted Answer

Nasacort (triamcinolone): Greetings. The good news is that there is no limited length of time that you can use  Nasacort (triamcinolone). Long term use studies found that when you use a steroid nasal spray daily for &gt;5 years,no adverse effects were noted. I have patients who have intranasal polyps who have been benefitting from these medications for years. If you should develop bleeding or a headache hold off for a bit.

Question 9

is nasacort (triamcinolone) save for everyday use?

Accepted Answer

It is safe : Nasocort used for allergic rhinitis with sinus inflammation , is a non systemic steroid nasal spray, which is safe for long term use if it is helping to improve your symptoms.

Question 10

is nasacort (triamcinolone) safe for long-term use?

Accepted Answer

Probably, but:: Nasacort (triamcinolone) is safe for periodic usage, however patients with chronic rhinitis who might use it for long periods should be advised to use them only intermittently and at the lowest dose that controls their symptoms because it can cause irritation of the nose with nosebleeds and rarely can cause Candida infections of the nose and throat. At high doses suppression of the immune system is possible.
