Patient summary
Budesonide 100mcg nasal spray solution, used in the management of allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps. A glucocorticoid applied inside the nose.
Mechanism of action
Budesonide exhibits potent glucocorticoid activity. By binding to glucocorticoid receptors, it suppresses inflammation by inhibiting mast cells, eosinophils, and cytokines, which effectively reduces allergic nasal congestion.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Suitability during pregnancy depends on the specific medicine and individual circumstances. Confirm with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use. Breastfeeding: Consult a physician.
