After Table 2, the following paragraph has been added:
In patients treated for acute rhinosinusitis, the incidence of epistaxis for NASONEX was 3.3% vs. 2.6% for placebo and similar to that observed for patients treated with allergic rhinitis.
Section 5.1
The following paragraph has been added to this section:
In two trials with 1954 patients, Nasonex Nasal Spray 200 mcg administered twice daily demonstrated significant improvement in symptoms associated with acute rhinosinusitis compared to placebo as evaluated by the Major Symptom Score (MSS) composite of symptoms (facial pain/pressure/tenderness, sinus headache, rhinorrhea, post nasal drip, and nasal congestion/stuffiness) during the 15 day treatment period (P02683 p < 0.001; P02692 p = 0.038). A 500 mg three times a day amoxicillin arm was not significantly different from placebo in reducing these symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis as evaluated by the MSS. The SNOT-20 HRQL showed a significant level of benefit at the 200 mcg twice daily dose of mometasone furoate vs. placebo (p=0.047). Treatment duration beyond 15 days was not evaluated in acute rhinosinusitis.
