Prescriber-led preparation

Compounding is used when the prescription needs something different from a ready-made product.

A compounded nasal spray combining a topical decongestant (xylometazoline 0.1% or oxymetazoline 0.05%) with a corticosteroid (triamcinolone, budesonide, or beclomethasone), prepared to a prescriber's formula for chronic nasal congestion care plans.

What to know

Information to review with your prescriber or care team

These notes are educational and do not replace directions from your prescriber or the label on your prescription.

What is it?

This compounded nasal spray puts a decongestant and a corticosteroid in one bottle. Prescribers sometimes use this combination to manage stubborn nasal congestion and to help patients come off long-term over-the-counter decongestant sprays. The prescriber chooses the specific ingredients, strengths, and ratio.

How to use

Use the number of sprays in each nostril exactly as written on the prescription, and only for the length of time directed. Decongestant nasal sprays should be used short term and under direction — using a decongestant spray longer than recommended can cause rebound congestion (the nose becomes more blocked).
