Safely Buy Zetonna Nasal Aerosol ( Ciclesonide ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Zetonna (ciclesonide nasal spray) belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids.

Ciclesonide works by preventing and decreasing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation (swelling that can cause other symptoms) in the nose.

Zetonna nasal spray is used to treat nasal symptoms (congestion, sneezing, and stuffy, itchy, runny nose) caused by seasonal allergies in adults and children 12 years of age and older.

Use and Dosage

Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using ciclesonide nasal spray each time you get a refill. Follow the instructions on how to properly use this medication. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Gently blow your nose before using this drug. Follow the instructions on how to properly prime the canister if you are using it for the first time, if you have not used it for 10 days or more, or if the canister and actuator become separated.

Use this medication in the nose as directed by your doctor, usually once a day in both nostrils. Do not use more than 1 spray in each nostril daily as this may increase the risk of side effects. Do not spray this medication in your eyes or directly onto the nasal septum (the wall between your nostrils).

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day.

Clean the outside of the nosepiece regularly with clean dry tissue. Keep track of the number of sprays used from the container with the dose indicator. Discard the container after the dose indicator reads zero.

You may feel the drug start to work within 2 days, but it may take 1 to 2 weeks before the full benefit of this drug takes effect. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
