`
`NUTLEY, N.J., Nov. 13, 1995 - U.S. allergy sufferers can breathe a sigh of relief these
`days with the introduction of Nasarel(TM) (flunisolide), a new intranasal steroid solution
`for the treatment of perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis which was recently cleared for
`marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Roche Laboratories
`introduced Nasarel(TM) September 20.
`
`Nasarel delivers proven efficacy for the symptoms of seasonal/ perennial allergic rhinitis.
`
`Some 50 million Americans suffer from an allergic disease. Allergic rhinitis affects about
`22 million people in the U.S. with symptoms ranging from runny, itchy and stuffy nose to
`postnasal drip and sneezing.
`
`"Seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis are extremely common problems in the U.S. and
`patients who have tried Nasarel have had success with this new formulation," said Eli
`Meltzer, M.D., Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at University of California San Diego and
`Chief of the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Children's Hospital, San Diego.
`"Nasarel is an effective drug and is comparable in efficacy to other leading intranasal
`steroids. It also provides patients with dosing flexibility," said Dr. Meltzer.
`
`Nasarel(TM) is an aqueous-based, fragrance-free reformulation of Nasalide(R)
`(flunisolide). Nasarel produces a well-tolerated topical therapeutic effect and
`demonstrates significantly less nasal burning, stinging and 25% less systemic absorption
`when compared to Nasalide. Nasarel can be safely administered to adults and children
`six years of age and older.
`
`Dosing
`
`The initial dosage recommendation for adults is 2 sprays/nostril twice a day and, with
`improvement, this can be reduced to even a maintenance dose of 1 spray/nostril once a
`day. For children 6-14 years, the dose is 2 sprays/nostril BID. For adults, maximum total
`daily doses should not exceed 8 sprays in each nostril per day (400 mg/day). Nasarel is
`a non-aerosol solution supplied in an unbreakable bottle and requires no shaking.
`
`Side Effects
`
`The most common adverse events reported in patients receiving Nasarel were transient
`aftertaste (17%) and transient stinging/burning (13%).
