Other Comments
Improvement of the symptoms of seasonal or perennial rhinitis usually becomes apparent within a few days after the start of therapy. However, symptomatic relief may not occur in some patients for as long as 2 weeks. The nasal inhaler should not be continued beyond 3 weeks in the absence of significant symptomatic improvement.
