About CORTI SPRAY

CORTI SPRAY is a prescription steroid nasal spray designed to treat nasal symptoms caused by seasonal or year-round allergies. It works directly in the nasal passages to relieve uncomfortable allergy symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, and a runny or itchy nose. This medication helps reduce the swelling and inflammation that make it hard to breathe comfortably during allergy season.

To get the best results, you must use CORTI SPRAY consistently every day as directed, rather than only when your symptoms flare up. Since it is applied directly inside the nose, you can use it at any time of day regardless of your meals. Incorporating simple habits like keeping your windows closed during high-pollen days and using dust-proof covers on your bedding can significantly improve your overall relief.

While using CORTI SPRAY, you may experience mild side effects like a dry throat, temporary nasal irritation, or slight nosebleeds. These issues are typically minor and resolve on their own, but you should contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe nosebleeds, pain inside your nose, or signs of an infection. Your pharmacist or doctor can help you manage these side effects safely.

Talk to your doctor before starting CORTI SPRAY if you have a history of nasal ulcers, have recently had nasal surgery, or have experienced a recent injury to your nose. Do not use this medicine if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients in this nasal spray. It is also important to tell your doctor if you have any active untreated infections, as steroids can sometimes make it harder for your body to fight them off.

Using other steroid medicines alongside CORTI SPRAY can increase your risk of side effects, so always share your full medication list with your pharmacist. While moderate alcohol use is not known to directly interact with this nasal spray, smoking can worsen nasal irritation and counteract the benefits of the medicine. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or are an older adult, consult your doctor to ensure this treatment is safe for your specific situation.

Uses of CORTI SPRAY

CORTI SPRAY is used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (hay fever). The detailed use of CORTI SPRAY is as follows:

  • Seasonal allergic rhinitis: CORTI SPRAY helps reduce swelling, sneezing, and runny nose caused by outdoor allergens like pollen, grass, and mold.
  • Perennial allergic rhinitis: CORTI SPRAY provides ongoing relief from year-round nasal symptoms triggered by indoor allergens such as dust mites, animal dander, and indoor molds.
  • Nasal congestion: CORTI SPRAY targets inflammation directly in the nasal passages to clear blockages and make breathing through your nose easier.

Key Benefits

CORTI SPRAY provides targeted, localised relief that helps you go about your day without the constant discomfort of allergy symptoms. By working directly in your nasal passages, it delivers several practical benefits:

  • Helps reduce swelling inside the nose, making it easier to breathe.
  • Helps keep the nasal passages clear throughout the day and may improve sleep by relieving nasal congestion.
  • Provides effective allergy relief without causing drowsiness, helping you stay alert during daily activities.
  • With regular daily use, it offers up to 24-hour relief from sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes.

  • Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans, and prevent future episodes.
  • Try relaxation methods such as meditation or deep breathing exercises to help manage stress.
  • Engage in activities that keep your hands occupied.
  • Get regular exercise to reduce anxiety and stress.
  • Focus on consuming a well-rounded diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage and duration.
  • Blow your nose to clear the nostrils before use. Insert the nozzle into one nostril while closing the other nostril. Spray the medicine while breathing in. Repeat for the other nostril if required.
  • Shake the nasal spray well before each use.

How CORTI SPRAY Works

CORTI SPRAY belongs to a group of medicines known as corticosteroids. When you spray it into your nose, the medication is absorbed directly by the cells lining your nasal passages. Its primary job is to turn down the activity of your body's immune system in that specific area. During an allergic reaction, your immune system releases various natural chemicals, such as histamines, prostaglandins, and cytokines. These chemicals trigger swelling, mucus production, itching, and congestion. CORTI SPRAY works at the cellular level to block the release of these inflammatory substances. By stopping the inflammation at its source, the medicine calms the irritated nasal tissues, shrinks swollen passages, and stops allergy symptoms before they become severe.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Use saline rinses: Cleanse your nasal passages with a saline nasal spray or a neti pot 10 to 15 minutes before using CORTI SPRAY. This removes thick mucus and allergens, allowing the medication to contact your nasal lining directly.
  • Track pollen counts: Keep windows closed and run the air conditioner on high-pollen days to minimise your exposure to outdoor triggers.
  • Create an allergen-free bedroom: Use allergen-proof zippered covers on your pillows and mattresses, and wash your bedding weekly in hot water to eliminate dust mites.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mucous membranes hydrated, which helps soothe irritated nasal tissues.
  • Avoid irritants: Stay away from tobacco smoke, wood smoke, and strong chemical fumes, which can aggravate nasal inflammation and reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.

Storage

• Store CORTI SPRAY upright at room temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F).

Drug Warnings

  • Prime the bottle: If you are using CORTI SPRAY for the first time or have not used it for more than a week, spray it into the air away from your face until a fine, consistent mist appears.
  • Avoid the septum: Always point the spray nozzle slightly outward toward your ear rather than straight up or toward the middle wall of your nose to prevent nasal tissue damage or bleeding.
  • Keep the nozzle clean: Wipe the spray tip with a clean, dry tissue after each use. Never use a pin, needle, or sharp object to clear a clogged spray tip, as this can damage the dosing mechanism; instead, rinse the plastic nozzle under warm tap water and let it air-dry.
  • Protect your eyes: Be careful not to spray CORTI SPRAY directly into your eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse your eyes immediately with cool water.
  • Monitor for nasal changes: If you notice constant soreness, severe bleeding, or white patches inside your nose, stop using the spray and consult your doctor.

FAQs

CORTI SPRAY is used to treat the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and nasal itching.
CORTI SPRAY works by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages. It blocks the release of substances involved in allergic and non-allergic inflammation, making your nose less sensitive to triggers such as pollen, dust mites, and animal dander.
You are not recommended to use CORTI SPRAY to treat a runny, itchy or stuffy nose and sneezing caused by the common cold. CORTI SPRAY is only used to treat symptoms caused by allergic and nonallergic rhinitis. Therefore, if you have a runny nose caused by a common cold, please consult a doctor so that appropriate medication is prescribed.
Do not share your nasal spray with others, as this may spread infection. To help prevent contamination, discard the spray bottle 28–30 days after opening (or according to the product instructions), even if some medicine remains.
Unlike other anti-allergic medicines, CORTI SPRAY does not cause drowsiness or sedation.
No. CORTI SPRAY is designed to be used every day as prescribed, even when you feel well. Regular use helps prevent allergy symptoms from developing and provides the best symptom control. Do not stop using CORTI SPRAY or use it only when symptoms become severe unless your doctor advises you to do so. If you have concerns about continuing treatment or experience any problems while using the spray, talk to your doctor.
Yes, under a doctor's guidance, CORTI SPRAY is generally safe for long-term management of allergies because it works locally in the nose with very little medicine absorbed into the rest of the body. However, long-term users should have their nasal passages checked regularly by a healthcare professional. Talk to your doctor to find out if long-term use is appropriate for you.
Minor irritation or slight spotting of blood can happen occasionally. Ensure you are directing the spray outward toward your ear rather than toward the middle wall of your nose. If you experience frequent or heavy nosebleeds, stop using the spray and talk to your doctor.
You should consult your healthcare provider before using CORTI SPRAY if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Your doctor will weigh the benefits of controlling your nasal symptoms against any potential risks to your baby. Talk to your doctor for personalised advice.
No, CORTI SPRAY is a steroid nasal spray and does not cause physical dependence or rebound congestion (the worsening of symptoms when you stop using it) like some over-the-counter decongestant sprays do. It is safe to stop using it when your doctor advises, without worrying about withdrawal symptoms. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about stopping your medication.
If the nozzle is clogged, remove the plastic cap and gently pull the spray tip upward to remove it. Rinse the spray tip under warm running tap water, shake off the excess water, and let it air-dry completely. Do not use a pin or sharp object to clear the clog, as this can damage the spray mechanism. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if the device still does not work.
In some cases, doctors may recommend combining a steroid nasal spray with an oral antihistamine for better symptom control. However, you should never combine medications without consulting a healthcare professional first. Talk to your doctor about safe treatment combinations for your allergies.
