Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Dosage: 1 spray (50 micrograms/spray) in each nostril once daily. Do not exceed a total of 2 sprays per nostril per day (200 micrograms/day). Before first use, or after 4 or more consecutive days without use, gently shake the bottle and prime the Ciclesonide nasal spray with eight actuations.
Side Effects
Cicloson nasal spray isn't absorbed much into the rest of the body, so it tends to cause fewer side effects overall. That said, some people may still notice headache, dizziness, nosebleed, a stuffy nose, or earache.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Cicloson nasal spray should be used carefully in patients who have active or dormant tuberculosis of the respiratory tract, as well as in those with untreated fungal, bacterial, or systemic viral infections, or ocular herpes simplex. Rare cases of nasal septal perforation, cataract, and glaucoma have been reported with intranasal use, and localized Candida albicans infections of the nose and throat have occurred infrequently. While systemic effects are minimal at the recommended dose, the risk rises with higher doses, so doses larger than recommended should be avoided.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to ciclesonide or any excipient in the formulation.
