What
is Tri Nasal aerosol? |
Tri Nasal® (Triamcinolone)

redness, itching, and allergic reactions. Tri Nasal
is similar to natural steroid hormone produced by
the adrenal gland. Tri Nasal treats allergic rhinitis

affecting the nose. Generic Tri Nasal aerosol is not

How
should I use this medicine? |
Tri
Nasal aerosol is only for use in the nose. Do not
take by mouth. Blow the nose gently without squeezing.
Shake inhaler thoroughly and invert before use. Tilt
head backwards, put the nozzle into one nostril, and
point the opening of the nozzle toward the inflamed
area. Hold other nostril closed and spray while breathing
in through the nose and out through the mouth. Before
using in the other nostril, shake inhaler again, and
repeat the above procedure. If 2 sprays are required,
point one spray toward the upper and one toward the
lower part of the nostril to make sure Tri Nasal is
evenly distributed onto the nasal mucosa. Clean the
inhaler daily. Remove the canister from the inhaler.
Rinse the cap, nosepiece, and the inhaler with warm
water and dry thoroughly. Do not use more than the
recommended dose.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional
regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special
care may be needed. |
