The only way that I am aware of reducing the dosage is to put one spray
in each nostril vs. two. Are you using this once or twice a day?
I'm also using Atrovent in addition to Nasacort. The doctor put me on
these because I was constantly complaining of feeling like my throat was
closing up (especially between August & November). Makes singing very
uncomfortable & tiresome...especially for an amateur like myself. I'm
singing 3-4 times a week in choirs, in addition to lessons & personal
practice.
Who knows? I hope that these are not the cause of some of the "noise"
that my voice teacher says she often hears in my voice but the option I
have to this is being extremlely uncomfortable & feeling a great deal of
stress in my chords &/or throat. I have been taking stingy nettle,
slippery elm bark & ginger root supplements since August & I haven't been
experiencing as much discomfort as in past autumns.
A side note...I work in the office of a custom wood shop...very dusty so
it can't be helping the problems eithers but I love it & can't imagine
doing anything else since I can't get paid enough only to sing. They even
let me get away to sing funerals & take an audition here & there.
