Effects of Rhinocort Acqua 32 mcg04/14/2006 |
I was recently prescribed this medication for sinus pressure and swelling, primarily the right sinus. After being on the medication for a couple of weeks I am beginning to notice some ringing in my ears that I would describe as hyper sensitivity to sound - everything is much louder. Currently I use two sprays in the right side and one spray in the left side of my nose. Is this sensitivity a temporary condition as my body adjusts to the medication or am I overmedicating myself? Or could all of this be in my head (sorry for the pun).Thanks!
These symptoms should not be caused by the use of Rhinocort or any other nasal steroid sprays.
