FDA核准治療季節性過敏症的鼻炎新藥物 ? 內容摘要： The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today the approval of Omnaris? (ciclesonide) nasal spray, a new drug for the treatment of nasal symptoms associated with seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, in adults and children 12 years of age and older. Although the precise way Omnaris works is unknown, the drug is a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are hormone-like drugs that suppress the immune response. Allergic rhinitis is the medical term for the inflamed, runny nose thats the main symptom of allergies. Seasonal allergic rhinitis is the most common allergic disease. About 35 million Americans suffer from this condition. The ailment’s classic symptoms are watery nasal discharge, and fits of sneezing, and itching that can affect not just the nose but the roof of the mouth, throat and the Eustachian tubes which connect the middle ear to the back of the throat. The safety and efficacy of Omnaris nasal spray were studied in four randomized placebo controlled clinical trials ranging in duration from two weeks to a year. The studies assessed how well Omnaris treated symptoms (runny nose, nasal itching, sneezing, and nasal congestion) in patients with hay fever. The results of these trials showed that patients treated with Omnaris nasal spray had an 8-10 percent greater reduction in nasal symptoms compared to placebo. The difference between Omnaris nasal spray and placebo was significant. The most common side effects in clinical studies were headache, nosebleeds, and inflammation of the nose and throat linings. ?中文摘要： FDA核准治療季節性過敏症的鼻炎新藥物：Ciclesonide(Omnaris?)鼻噴劑，一般適用於12歲以上小孩和成人的乾草熱過敏症狀。 Ciclesonide(Omnaris?)是類固醇類的藥物，其明確的作用機轉目前並不明確，而類固醇藥物是和人體賀爾蒙相似的藥物，因此可以抑制過敏反應。Allergic rhinit（過敏性鼻炎）在醫學上是為發炎之意，流鼻水為主要的臨床症狀。Seasononal allergic rihinits(季節性過敏症的鼻炎)是最常見的過敏疾病，在美國約有三千五百萬的人有這樣的情況。此疾病典型症狀為流鼻
