Management of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis
Hypersensitivity to ciclesonide or any component of the formulation
Perennial allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis:
Omnaris ‚ ®: 2 sprays (50 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; maximum: 200 mcg/day
Zetonna ¢ „ ¢: 1 spray (37 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; maximum: 74 mcg/day
Refer to adult dosing.
Perennial allergic rhinitis: Children ≥12 years: Refer to adult dosing:
Seasonal allergic rhinitis:
U.S. labeling: Children ≥6 year: Refer to adult dosing.
Canadian labeling: Children ≥12 years: Refer to adult dosing.
No dosage adjustment provided in manufacturer 's labeling (has not been studied).
No dosage adjustment necessary.
Intranasal: Blow nose to clear nostrils. Insert applicator into nostril, keeping bottle upright, and close off the other nostril. Breathe in through nose. While inhaling, press pump to release spray. Avoid spraying directly onto the nasal septum or into eyes. Discard after the discard by" date or after labeled number of doses has been used, even if bottle is not completely empty.
Omnaris ‚ ®: Shake bottle gently before using. Prime pump prior to first use (press 8 times until fine mist appears) or if spray has not been used in 4 consecutive days (press 1 time or until a fine mist appears). Nasal applicator may be removed and rinsed with warm water to clean.
Zetonna ¢ „ ¢: Use nasal canister with supplied nasal actuator only. Prime pump prior to first use (press 3 times until fine mist appears) or if spray has not been used in 10 consecutive days (press 3 times or until a fine mist appears). If canister and actuator become separated, spray 1 test spray in air before using. Clean outside of nose piece with a clean, dry tissue or cloth weekly; do not wash or put in water.
Store at 25 ‚ °C (77 ‚ °F); excursions permitted to 15 ‚ °C to 30 ‚ °C (59 ‚ °F to 86 ‚ °F).
Omnaris ‚ ®: Do not freeze. Use within 4 months after opening aluminum pouch.
Zetonna ¢ „ ¢: Protect from heat or open flame (>49 ‚ °C [120 ‚ °F]). Do not puncture.
Excipient information presented when available (limited, particularly for generics); consult specific product labeling.

Concerns related to adverse effects:
- Adrenal suppression: When used at excessive doses, may cause hypercorticism or suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, particularly in younger children or in patients receiving high doses for prolonged periods. HPA axis suppression may lead to adrenal crisis. Withdrawal and discontinuation of a corticosteroid should be done slowly and carefully. Particular care is required when patients are transferred from systemic corticosteroids to inhaled products due to possible adrenal insufficiency or withdrawal from steroids, including an increase in allergic symptoms.
- Delayed wound healing: Avoid nasal corticosteroid use in patients with recent nasal septal ulcers, nasal surgery or nasal trauma until healing has occurred.
- Immunosuppression: Prolonged use of corticosteroids may increase the incidence of secondary infection, mask acute infection (including fungal infections), prolong or exacerbate viral infections, or limit response to vaccines. Exposure to chickenpox should be avoided; corticosteroids should be used with caution, if at all, in patients with ocular herpes simplex, latent tuberculosis, and/or TB reactivity, or in patients with untreated fungal, viral, or bacterial infections.
- Local nasal effects: Nasal septal perforation, nasal ulceration, epistaxis, and localized Candida albicans infections of the nose and/or pharynx may occur. Monitor patients periodically for adverse nasal effects.
- Ocular disease: Increased intraocular pressure, open-angle glaucoma, and cataracts have occurred with intranasal corticosteroid use; use with caution in patients with a history of increased intraocular pressure, cataracts and/or glaucoma. Consider routine eye exams in chronic users or in patients who report visual changes.
Special populations:
- Pediatric: Avoid using higher than recommended dosages; suppression of linear growth (ie, reduction of growth velocity), reduced bone mineral density, or hypercorticism (Cushing syndrome) may occur; titrate to lowest effective dose. Reduction in growth velocity may occur when corticosteroids are administered to pediatric patients, even at recommended doses via intranasal route (monitor growth).
C
Adverse events were observed in some animal reproduction studies. Hypoadrenalism may occur in newborns following maternal use of corticosteroids in pregnancy; monitor. Intranasal corticosteroids may be used in the treatment of rhinitis during pregnancy; the lowest effective dose should be used (NAEPP, 2005; Wallace, 2008).
Minimal systemic absorption
Ciclesonide hydrolyzed to active metabolite, des-ciclesonide via esterases in nasal mucosa; further metabolism via hepatic CYP3A4 and 2D6
24-48 hours; further improvement observed over 1-2 weeks in seasonal allergic rhinitis or 5 weeks in perennial allergic rhinitis
- Discuss specific use of drug and side effects with patient as it relates to treatment. (HCAHPS: During this hospital stay, were you given any medicine that you had not taken before? Before giving you any new medicine, how often did hospital staff tell you what the medicine was for? How often did hospital staff describe possible side effects in a way you could understand?)
- Patient may experience headache, pharyngitis, or ear pain. Have patient report immediately to prescriber signs of infection, severe dizziness, passing out, severe rhinitis, severe nosebleeds, nasal sores, wheezing, redness or white patches in mouth or throat, severe nausea, severe vomiting, severe loss of strength and energy, or vision changes (HCAHPS).
- Educate patient about signs of a significant reaction (eg, wheezing; chest tightness; fever; itching; bad cough; blue skin color; seizures; or swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat). Note: This is not a comprehensive list of all side effects. Patient should consult prescriber for additional questions.
