Ottawa: Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH). Rapid Response - Summary with Critical Appraisal. 2013 Authors' conclusions Findings from the included meta-analysis on the comparative clinical efficacy and safety of intranasal triamcinolone and beclomethasone dipropionate in the treatment of allergic rhinitis showed that both drugs had similar efficacy in reducing nasal and ocular symptoms, but intranasal triamcinolone is safer than beclomethasone in terms of risk of epistaxis, long-term effects on growth, and systemic ocular effects.
