Abstract
Intranasal injections into the inferior turbinates of a slightly form of prednisolone TBA (Hydeltra® TBA) into persons with complaint of nasal obstruction gave considerable relief in 78 per cent of cases. Nasal hyperfunction due to seasonal allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis and secondary nasal edema from sinusitis was the indication for use. No local or general reactions other than a small amount of bleeding at the time of injection was noted. This method allows full utilization of the anti-inflammatory activity of corticosteroids at the local tissue level without producing a systemic effect.
