Question 2

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 3

what is nasacort (triamcinolone) prescribed for?

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

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.

Question 6

will  triamcinolone help with  facial discoloration?

Accepted Answer

Minimally: Steroids can help on a short term basis to reduce redness, but long term will probably make things worse.  Steroids help a tiny bit with brownness, but not a whole lot.  In general, triamcinolone would not be a good treatment for facial discoloration.

Four times a day : The recommended starting dose of nasacort (triamcinolone) nasal inhaler is 220 mcg per day given as two sprays (55 mcg/spray) in each nostril once a day.
