Nasacort Allergy 24HR Information

Nasacort Allergy 24HR (triamcinolone acetonide) is an over-the-counter (OTC) nasal spray used for the temporary relief of a variety of nasal allergy symptoms. Unlike oral antihistamines, which primarily target histamine, Nasacort is an intranasal corticosteroid (glucocorticoid). This class of medication is considered one of the most effective for treating nasal allergy symptoms, as it works directly at the source of inflammation in the nasal passages. It relieves symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, a runny nose, and an itchy nose. Nasacort provides 24-hour, non-drowsy relief from both seasonal and year-round allergies, including those caused by pollen, dust, pet dander, and mould.

The active ingredient, triamcinolone acetonide, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. It works by reducing the inflammation caused by allergic reactions. When the body is exposed to an allergen, it releases various inflammatory substances, including histamine. Triamcinolone acetonide blocks the action of these inflammatory mediators and cells, such as mast cells and eosinophils, thereby reducing swelling and other symptoms associated with allergies. This targeted action makes it highly effective, particularly for nasal congestion, which antihistamines often fail to address effectively. While some symptom relief may be noticed on the first day, it can take up to a week of consistent, daily use to achieve the maximum therapeutic benefit. Therefore, it is crucial to use the product regularly as directed, rather than just as needed. Nasacort is available in Canada as an OTC product for adults and children 12 years of age and older. For children ages 2 to 11, it is available with adult supervision. The standard adult dose is two sprays per nostril once daily. Once symptoms are under control, the dose can be reduced to one spray per nostril per day to maintain effectiveness and minimize potential side effects. The product comes in a suspension form and must be shaken well before each use. It is also important to prime the pump by releasing a few sprays into the air before the first use or if the bottle has not been used for more than two weeks. Proper administration involves gently spraying the solution into the nose, without inhaling too deeply, for optimal results.
