About CORTI SPRAY

CORTI SPRAY belongs to the class of medicines called corticosteroids. It is used to relieve symptoms of seasonal or year-round allergic rhinitis/hay fever. It treats allergy symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, nose, and throat. Allergic rhinitis is inflammation and allergy of the nose caused by an allergen, such as pollen, dust, mold, or skin flakes from certain animals.

CORTI SPRAY contains 'Triamcinolone' that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers involved in allergic and non-allergic-mediated inflammation. Thereby, it helps treat inflammatory diseases. It relieves nasal and sinus congestion, mucus production, and nasal swelling caused by allergic rhinitis.

Use CORTI SPRAY as directed by your physician. Your doctor will decide the dose of this medicine based on your medical condition. The common side effects of CORTI SPRAY include nose/throat dryness, coughing, sneezing, nosebleeds, and unpleasant taste and smell. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to CORTI SPRAY, you should avoid it. Before taking CORTI SPRAY, tell your doctor if you have any heart, liver, or renal illness, glaucoma, cataracts, TB, or nose difficulties. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult your doctor before using CORTI SPRAY. CORTI SPRAY is not suggested for children under the age of two.
