Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take antifungal or anti-HIV medicines as they may interact with XHANCE. This may cause serious side effects.
XHANCE may cause serious side effects, including:
- Nasal problems. Symptoms of nasal problems may include nose bleeds, crusting in the nose, sores (ulcers) in the nose, or a whistling sound when you breathe.
- Fungal infections (thrush) in your nose and throat. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any redness or white colored patches in your nose or mouth.
- Slow wound healing. You should not use XHANCE until your nose has healed if you have a sore in your nose, have had surgery on your nose, or if your nose has been injured.
- Eye problems including glaucoma and cataracts. You should have regular eye exams while you use XHANCE. Call your healthcare provider if you have vision changes while using XHANCE.
- Serious allergic reactions. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care if you get any of the following signs of a serious allergic reaction: rash, hives, swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue, breathing problems, or low blood pressure.
- Weakened immune system and increased chance of getting infections. Avoid contact with people who have a contagious disease such as chickenpox or measles while using XHANCE. If you come in contact with someone who has chickenpox or measles, call your healthcare provider right away. Tell your healthcare provider about any signs or symptoms of infection such as: fever, pain, aches, chills, feeling tired, nausea, or vomiting.
- Reduced adrenal function. This potentially life-threatening condition can happen when you stop taking oral corticosteroids (such as prednisone) and start taking inhaled corticosteroids. Reduced adrenal function can also happen when nasal corticosteroids, such as XHANCE, are used at a dose higher than the usual dose or in people who are susceptible at the usual dose. This may be more likely to happen after surgery or during periods of stress. Tell your healthcare provider right away about any signs and symptoms of reduced adrenal function, such as tiredness, weakness, nausea and vomiting, or low blood pressure.
- Weak bones (osteoporosis). Tell your healthcare provider if you have weak bones before using XHANCE.
- Slowed growth in children. A child’s growth should be checked often.
