Hello, I just found out that I am about 5 weeks pregnant. I take Nasacort nasal spray every morning. Is it better to stop using this medicine even if it doesn't give me sinusitis? Thank you.

Congratulations on your news! While there is limited clinical data on the use of cortisone sprays in pregnant women, the most well-documented inhaled corticosteroids are Rhinocort (budesonide), Beconase (beclomethasone), Nasonex (mometasone), and Flonase (fluticasone). If Nasacort is the only spray that relieves your symptoms, it may be reasonable to use it, but only as needed and at the lowest effective dose (one inhalation per nostril once a day). Does this answer your question?
