OVERDOSE

Chronic overdosage may result in signs/symptoms of hypercorticism [see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS] There are no data on the effects of . acute or chronic overdosage with NASACORT AQ (triamcinolone acetonide) Nasal Spray. Because of low systemic bioavailability and an absence of acute drug-related systemic findings in clinical studies overdose is unlikely to require any therapy other than observation.

Acute overdosing with the intranasal dosage form is unlikely in view of the total amount of active ingredient present and low bioavailability of triamcinolone acetonide. In the event that the entire contents of the bottle were administered all at once, via either oral or nasal application, clinically significant systemic adverse events would most likely not result.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

NASACORT AQ (triamcinolone acetonide) should not be administered to patients with a history of hypersensitivity to triamcinolone acetonide or to any of the other ingredients of this preparation.
