class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Reason is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason contains fluticasone propionate, a\u00a0corticosteroid\u00a0(\u00a0cortisone\u00a0), which reduces\u00a0inflammation\u00a0and symptoms caused by\u00a0allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason is used for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age against the runny nose and nasal congestion caused by\u00a0allergies\u00a0to e.g.\u00a0pollen (hay fever), animal, or dus,t and in the case of\u00a0vasomotor\u00a0rhinitis (runny nose).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason is used for children aged 8 to 12 years against the runny nose and nasal congestion caused by\u00a0allergies\u00a0to e.g.\u00a0pollen (hay fever).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full effect comes only after a few days of regular treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fluticasone propionate contained in Reason may also be approved for the treatment of other diseases not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Reason<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Reason<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to fluticasone propionate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Reason:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have a fever or\u00a0infection\u00a0in your nose or sinuses<\/li><li>if you have recently had nose surgery or have injured your nose or have sores in your nose<\/li><li>if you have previously been treated with cortisone tablets or cortisone injections, you may regain allergic symptoms from your eyes after switching to Reason.\u00a0Complementary treatment may then be needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor if you experience<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>blurred vision or other visual disturbances.<\/li><li>Side effects\u00a0affecting the whole body (systemic side effects):<br>When nasal sprays containing\u00a0corticosteroids\u00a0are used in high\u00a0doses\u00a0for long periods,\u00a0side effects\u00a0can occur due to the drug being absorbed into the body.\u00a0This effect is less likely to occur when used in the nose compared to when\u00a0corticosteroids\u00a0are given orally and this effect may vary between patients and for different medicines\u00a0containing corticosteroids.\u00a0Possible systemic side effects may include Cushing&#8217;s syndrome (a set of symptoms caused by high levels of the\u00a0hormone\u00a0et\u00a0cortisol rushing-like symptoms (eg, lunar face), adrenal insufficiency, cataracts,\u00a0glaucoma, and more rarely a range of psychological or behavioral disorders including\u00a0psychomotor\u00a0hyperactivity, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, or aggression.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment with nasal corticosteroids (such as Reason) for long periods may cause stunted growth.\u00a0Your doctor will monitor your child&#8217;s height regularly and ensure that your child receives the lowest possible effective\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other possible systemic side effects are depression or aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other drugs and Reason<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other medicines may increase the effect of Reason and your doctor may want to monitor you closely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are using any type of antiviral medicine known as a\u00a0protease inhibitor\u00a0(eg ritonavir for\u00a0HIV ) or medicines containing\u00a0cobicistat\u00a0(antiviral) that may increase the effect of fluticasone propionate.<\/li><li>if you are taking certain medicines for fungal infections (eg\u00a0ketoconazole, itraconazole).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Limited experience of use during pregnancy.&nbsp;Therefore, consult a physician before using Rinason during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not known if fluticasone propionate passes into breast milk.\u00a0Therefore, consult a physician before regular use

work that requires sharpened vigilance.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or
