Triamcinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that has been shown to have a wide range of actions on multiple cell types (eg, mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes) and mediators (eg, histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, cytokines) involved in inflammation.
Nasacort Allergy 24hr nasal spray will be marketed by Chattem, Sanofi’s consumer health division. Nasacort Allergy 24hr nasal spray will be available in 60- and 120-metered dose sprays.
Chattem anticipates that Nasacort Allergy 24hr nasal spray will be available in Spring 2014.
