Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucocorticosteroids are anti-inflammatory drugs and are administered intranasally to control symptoms of rhinitis.When administered intranasally,they inhibit the onset of the inflammatory response by reducing the permeability of the nasal mucosa cells to T lymphocytes and eosinophils,thereby decreasing the release of mediators of the inflammatory response (e.g. ,cytokines).They also reduce the number of inflammatory cells.The result is a reduction in mucus and swelling that makes breathing difficult.
