Learn about Phildesona nasal spray

Each bottle of Phildesona nasal spray contains 10mg of Budesonide, which is a corticosteroid with pronounced anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and immunosuppressive effects. Budesonide, like other corticosteroids, reduces inflammation by reducing prostaglandin synthesis by activating phospholipase A2.
Corticosteroids increase the concentration of some phospholipids across the membrane causing inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. These drugs also increase levels of lipocortin, which is a protein that reduces the phospholipid substrate of phospholipase A2. In addition, corticosteroids also reduce capillary permeability by inhibiting the activity of kinins and bacterial endotoxins, the drug also works to reduce the amount of histamine secreted by basophils.
Phildesona nasal spray is indicated in the following cases:
