What Causes Loss Of Smell And Taste While On Nasacort?

I have had no taste and little smell x 2 weeks. CT scan normal. I am thinking it may be from long-term use of Nasacort. It happened about 8 years ago too and it did come back. I have stopped the use of Nasacort for now. Have you heard of this before?? Thank you. Joan Whittemore

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello.

Yes, this could well be from the Nasocort and, if so, your sense of taste and smell should return in one or two weeks.

That said, you should see your doctor for an exam to make sure this isn't a sinus infection problem
