❓ Frequently Asked Questions
QI am worried about side effects of steroid drugs.
ASteroid nasal sprays work locally in the nose, are hardly absorbed systemically, and if absorbed, are quickly broken down, so systemic side effects are unlikely. Rarely, nasal irritation, dryness, or nosebleeds may occur. If you experience concerning symptoms after use, stop using and consult a doctor.
QIs it okay to use when pollen dispersion is low and symptoms are mild?
AYou can adjust the number of uses from 1 to 4 times a day depending on the severity of symptoms. Continued use even with mild symptoms increases effectiveness. However, please be careful not to use for more than 3 months in one year.
QWhat is the difference between the Nasal "Spray" series and the Nasal αAR series?
AThe Nasal "Spray" series contains vasoconstrictors and antihistamines for immediate effect, while the Nasal αAR series contains steroid ingredients suitable for sustained care throughout the pollen season. Please choose according to your symptoms and usage situation.
