Detailed Information

How it works

Omnaris is a corticosteroid nasal spray that may work by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages. It helps minimize the immune response triggered by allergens. This allows for relief from congestion, sneezing, and dripping typically caused by allergic rhinitis.

Clinical applications

Patients commonly use Omnaris to treat both seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis in adults and children aged 6 or older. According to the product labeling, it improves nasal symptoms like congestion, sneezing, or runny nose after continued daily use.

Safety and Effectiveness

Safety profile

Based on FDA-approved information, common side effects include headache (about 8-11%), nosebleeds (5-11%), sore throat, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some patients may also report ear pain or nasal dryness. Serious side effects are rare, but long-term corticosteroid use can potentially lead to nasal septum perforation or slowed growth in children. Always report persistent issues to your healthcare provider.
