How Zetonna Affects Patients
Ciclesonide is a type of drug that is changed into a different, active form when it is used in the nose. This active form (called des-ciclesonide) is very good at reducing inflammation and has an effect 120 times stronger than the original drug. It's not clear exactly how ciclesonide works to reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis, but it's thought to work by affecting different types of cells and molecules involved in allergic inflammation.
How Zetonna works in the body
Ciclesonide is a type of glucocorticoid that helps fight inflammation. It does this by limiting the expansion of blood vessels and decreasing the number of white blood cells in the area. It also stops certain compounds from forming which cause inflammation. Ciclesonide works by binding to a receptor in the cell nucleus and changing the expression of certain genes. This includes reducing the production of a compound called interlukin 2, which leads to more inflammation.
When to interrupt dosage
The proposed measure of Zetonna is reliant upon the diagnosed condition, including Perennial Allergic Rhinitis (PAR), Hay Fever and Bronchoconstriction. The amount of dosage depends on the technique of delivery (e.g. Aerosol, metered - Respiratory (inhalation) or Aerosol, metered) outlined in the table underneath.
