Econase Spray

Econase Spray belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids primarily used to prevent allergies including swelling, itching redness, heat, and pain caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). The swelling of the skin occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.

Econase Spray is a steroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.

Use Econase Spray as prescribed. You are advised to use Econase Spray for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Econase Spray is for external use only. Avoid contact of Econase Spray with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case Econase Spray comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience skin redness, inflamed hair follicles, itching, blistering, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Econase Spray do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Econase Spray or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Econase Spray. Do not use Econase Spray in more than prescribed doses, or on a large area of skin for a prolonged time as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor.  Avoid using Econase Spray for more than 5 days in children and on the face. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Econase Spray catches fire and burns easily. If you have diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, adrenal gland or liver problems, or had a skin reaction to a steroid medicine in the past, inform your doctor before taking Econase Spray.
