About Ciclospray Nasal Spray

Ciclospray Nasal Spray is a prescription nasal spray used to treat symptoms of seasonal and year-round allergies. It acts inside the nose to relieve symptoms such as a blocked, runny, or itchy nose and frequent sneezing. By reducing inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages, it can make breathing through the nose more comfortable.

For the best results, use Ciclospray Nasal Spray regularly as prescribed by your doctor. It works best when used consistently, even when your allergy symptoms begin to improve. As it is a nasal spray, it can be used without regard to meals. Measures such as limiting exposure to pollen, dust mites, mould, or other known allergy triggers may also help manage symptoms.

Ciclospray Nasal Spray may cause mild side effects such as headache, nasal irritation, or occasional minor nosebleeds. Consult your doctor right away if you develop severe or persistent nosebleeds, severe nasal pain, white patches or signs of infection inside your nose or mouth, difficulty breathing, or serious vision problems.

Before using Ciclospray Nasal Spray, tell your doctor if you have recently had nasal surgery or an injury to your nose, or if you have sores inside your nose, as corticosteroids can delay wound healing. Do not use Ciclospray Nasal Spray if you are allergic to ciclesonide or any other ingredient in the product.

Tell your doctor about all medicines you use, particularly medicines that may increase your exposure to corticosteroids. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, breastfeeding, or an older adult, discuss your treatment with your doctor.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication, to ensure the safety.
  • Hold one nostril closed with your finger. Tilt your head slightly forward and carefully insert the tip of the nasal applicator into the open nostril, keeping the bottle upright.

How Ciclospray Nasal Spray Works

Ciclospray Nasal Spray contains ciclesonide, a corticosteroid medicine. Ciclesonide is a prodrug, which means it is changed into its active form after it reaches the tissues inside your nose. The active medicine reduces the activity of substances involved in inflammation and allergic reactions. This decreases swelling, irritation, and mucus production in the nasal passages, helping relieve allergy symptoms.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Reduce pollen exposure: Keep windows closed when pollen levels are high and change clothes after spending time outdoors during allergy season.
