OMNARIS

Absorption : Ciclesonide and des-ciclesonide have negligible oral bioavailability (both less than 1%) due to low gastrointestinal absorption and high first-pass metabolism. The intranasal administration of ciclesonide at recommended doses results in negligible serum concentrations of ciclesonide. However, the known active metabolite (des-ciclesonide) is detected in the serum of some patients after nasal inhalation of ciclesonide. The bioanalytical assay used has a lower limit of quantification o...

14.1 Seasonal and Perennial Allergic Rhinitis Adults and Adolescent Patients 12 Years of Age and Older: The efficacy of OMNARIS Nasal Spray was evaluated in 3 randomized, double‑blind, parallel-group, multicenter, placebo-controlled clinical trials of 2 to 6 weeks duration conducted in the United States and Canada in adolescents and adults with allergic rhinitis. The three trials included a total of 1524 patients (495 males and 1029 females) of whom 79 were adolescents, ages 12 to 17 years. The racial distribution in these three trials included 1374 Caucasians, 69 Blacks, 31 Asians, and 50 pat...

Systemic and local corticosteroid use may result in the following:

• Epistaxis, nasal septal perforations, Candida albicans infection, impaired wound healing [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]
• Cataracts and glaucoma [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]
• Immunosuppression [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]
• Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis effects, including growth reduction [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 , 5.5 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] The most common ad...

OMNARIS Nasal Spray is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to ciclesonide or any of the ingredients of OMNARIS Nasal Spray [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . Patients with a known hypersensitivity to ciclesonide or any of the ingredients of OMNARIS Nasal Spray. ( 4 )

• Epistaxis, Candida albicans infection, nasal septal perforation, impaired wound healing. Monitor patients periodically for signs of adverse effects on the nasal mucosa. Avoid spraying OMNARIS directly onto the nasal septum. Avoid use in patients with recent nasal ulcers, nasal surgery, or nasal trauma. ( 5.1 )
• Development of glaucoma or cataracts. Monitor patients closely with a change in vision or with a history of increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, and/or cataracts. ( 5.2 )
• Potent...

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS In vitro studies and clinical pharmacology studies suggested that des-ciclesonide has no potential for metabolic drug interactions or protein binding-based drug interactions [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . In a drug interaction study, co-administration of orally inhaled ciclesonide and oral ketoconazole, a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A4, increased the exposure (...
