  • Title: The treatment of perennial rhinitis with a new, non-halogenated, topical, aerosol packed, steroid, Budesonide.
    Author: Balle VH, Pedersen U, Engby B.
    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol; 1982; 94(1-2):169-73. PubMed ID: 7124383.
    Abstract:
    The investigation of a recently synthesized non-halogenated steroid with a high local anti-inflammatory effect and low systemic glucocorticoid effect, on 36 patients with perennial rhinitis was carried out using a double-blind, cross-over technique, where the patients were treated with an aerosol spray containing a concentration corresponding to 200 micrograms/day and 400 micrograms/day of the active compound Budesonide, as well as placebo. There was a significantly better effect from the active compound than from placebo. A dosage-dependent effect was demonstrated for the symptoms nasal blockage and nasal discharge, while this was not so for sneezing bouts. No effect was observed on the function of the suprarenal glands. Local side effects were few and of no importance.
