Popis: | Dexamethasone cipecilate (NS-126C), a new steroid nasal spray in powder form, is effective in once-a-day administration.

An analysis of subjective symptoms, objective findings, anterior rhinoscopy, laboratory tests, adrenal function tests, physical examination, throat or nasal fungal tests, and nasal ciliary function tests showed only 1 adverse event for which a causal relationship to the study drug could not be ruled out, i.e. 1 case of mild throat discomfort in 1 subject given the drug at 100 μg in the single-dose study.
