Ciclesonide, sold under the brand name Omnaris among others, is a medication used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis.[2][1] For asthma it is inhaled while for rhinitis it is used as a nose spray.[2][1]

Common side effects when inhaled include headache, throat pain, upper respiratory infection, join pain, thrush, and pneumonia.[2] Common side effects when sprayed in the nose include nosebleeding, headache, ear pain, and throat pain.[1] Other side effects may include glaucoma and adrenal suppression.[4] Safety in pregnancy has not been well studied.[4] It is a corticosteroid, specifically a glucocorticoid.[2][1]

Ciclesonide was patented in 1990 and approved for medical use in 2005.[5] It was approved for use in the United States in 2006.[6] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines as an alternative to budesonide.[7] In the United Kingdom 120 doses of 160 microgram inhaler costs the NHS about £38 as of 2021.[3] This amount in the United States costs about 260 USD.[8]
