Side Effects:
Generally, Triamcinolone Acetonide is well tolerated. However, few side effects such as-pharyngitis, epistaxis, increase in cough, headache, infection, sinusitis, and vomiting may occur.
Precautions:
Triamcinolone Acetonide nasal spray should be used with caution, if at all, in patients with active or quiescent tuberculous infection of the respiratory tract or in patients with untreated fungal, bacterial, or systemic viral infections or ocular herpes simplex. In clinical studies with Triamcinolone Acetonide nasal spray, the development of localized infections of the nose and pharynx with Candida albicans has rarely occurred.
Use in Pregnancy & Lactation:
Pregnancy: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Triamcinolone Acetonide nasal spray, like other corticosteroids, should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Lactation: It is not known whether Triamcinolone Acetonide is excreted in human milk. Because other corticosteroids are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Triamcinolone Acetonide nasal spray is administered to nursing women.
Overdose:
Like any other nasally administered corticosteroids, acute overdosing is unlikely in view of the total amount of active ingredient present. In the event that the entire contents of the bottle were administered all at once, via either oral or nasal application, clinically significant systemic adverse events would most likely not result. The patient may experience some gastrointestinal upset.
