[tri-med] Re: Nasonex?

Karen--once again you come to the rescue!!!  Thanks!
When you mentioned Rhinacort it rang a bell--my sister has to use

given me another lead :) ...  I think I've gotten enough reassurances, 
though, and feel comfortable trying Keren out on this.  'Course, sounds 
like what will be most tricky will be getting it up her nose!!!
