Drug Uses

Rhinocort is used for long-term treatment of asthma. It may be used to prevent breathing problems in certain patients. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

How Taken

Use Rhinocort as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Rhinocort is for use in the nose.

Shake well before each use.
You will need to prime the inhaler before using it for the first time. To prime the inhaler, shake it for 5 seconds, then release a test spray into the air away from your face. Shake well again for 5 seconds and release a second test spray into the air.
Remove the inhaler from the foil pouch. Write the date that you open the foil pouch on the dose tracker card that comes with Rhinocort.
Shake well. Remove the mouthpiece cover. Check the mouthpiece for foreign objects. Breathe out slowly and completely. Place the mouthpiece between your lips and try to rest your tongue flat, unless your doctor has told you otherwise. Your doctor may have told you to hold the inhaler 1 or 2 inches (2 or 3 centimeters) away from the open mouth or to use a special spacing device. As you start to take a slow, deep breath, press the canister and mouthpiece together at exactly the same time. This will release a dose of Rhinocort Inhalation Aerosol. Continue breathing in slowly and deeply and hold for as long as comfortable, then breathe out slowly through pursed lips or your nose. If more than 1 inhalation is to be used, wait a few minutes and repeat the above steps. Keep the spray away from your eyes. Close the mouthpiece cover after each use.
If the inhaler is not used for more than 7 days or if it is dropped, it will need to be reprimed again before you use it.
Use Rhinocort on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it.
