A Comparison of Once-Daily Triamcinolone Acetonide Aqueous and Twice-Daily Beclomethasone Dipropionate Aqueous Nasal Sprays in the Treatment of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis
Ragweed pollen is the most frequent cause of allergic rhinitis in the late summer–fall in North America. The objectives of this multicenter, randomized, single-blind study are to assess the efficacy and safety of triamcinolone acetonide aqueous (TAA AQ) and beclomethasone dipropionate aqueous (BDP) in the treatment of adult patients with seasonal ragweed-induced allergic rhinitis. Patient's self-assessment of comfort with medication and healthrelated quality of life were also assessed. A total of 152 patients were randomized to treatment with TAA AQ 200 g once daily in the morning (n = 75) or BDP twice-daily 336 g/day (n = 77).
