Active Comparator
Budesonide via MAD
Budesonide via Sinus Rinse Bottle
The current standard of care at St. Paul's Sinus Centre is to administer budesonide via the Mucosal Atomization Device (MAD). Its believed that MAD is a better device than the standard nasal lavage (Budesonide diluted in saline and delivered via Nasal Irrigation Bottle)because its fine mist and higher concentration enhances absorption and improves bioavailability.
Budesonide via Sinus Rinse Bottle is the most commonly used delivery method.
