How Nasacort Works

In 2002, the ENT Department of University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium conducted a study and found that over 65% of people surveyed preferred Nasacort over any leading competitor.

According to the manufacturer, the active ingredient in Nasacort Nasal Spray is Triamcinolone. Triamcinolone belongs to a group of medicines known as corticosteroids. These steroids act on the immune system by blocking the production of substances that trigger allergic and inflammatory actions. As a result inflammation and mucus secretions are reduced.

Triamcinolone is given as an intranasal spray intended to treat and prevent the inflammation that occurs due to allergies. The spray forces fluid in the nasal passages into the throat, where it is swallowed or coughed out.
