Full program rules
OMNARIS Nasal Spray is for the treatment of nasal allergy symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, and congestion) from seasonal allergic rhinitis in adults and children 6 years of age and older, and year-round allergic rhinitis in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Patients using corticosteroid drugs that weaken the immune system are more susceptible to infection and should avoid exposure to chickenpox or measles. If you have tuberculosis, eye herpes, or untreated infections of any kind, speak to your healthcare professional before using OMNARIS. Yeast infections of the nose and throat may occur.
Patients who have recently had an ulcer in the nose, trauma to the nose or nasal surgery should not use OMNARIS until healing has occurred. Rare instances of nasal irritation and eye problems have been reported following the use of nasal steroids. Talk with your healthcare professional if you have a history of eye problems or experience a change in vision.
Patients taking higher doses of a nasal steroid than recommended, or certain other at-risk individuals, may experience symptoms of a hormonal imbalance, including very rarely changes in menstruation, acne, and weight gain. Like all steroid nasal sprays, OMNARIS may cause slowed growth in children. The growth of children using OMNARIS should be monitored routinely by their healthcare professional.
The most common side effects that may occur with OMNARIS are headache, nosebleed, sore throat and ear pain.
OMNARIS is available by prescription. Ask your healthcare professional if OMNARIS is right for you. For more information, please see the OMNARIS Full Prescribing Information and the OMNARIS Patient's Instructions for Use.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call
