Summary A trial of flunisolide nasal spray and sodium cromoglycate nasal spray in the treatment of hay fever was carried out during the summer of 1978. Sixty‐seven patients all suffering from grass‐pollen hay fever were given either flunisolide or sodium cromoglycate nasal sprays for 7 weeks. Patients were seen at 0,3 and 7 weeks and they also kept a daily record of symptoms. Overall assessment of symptom control and the patients daily records of sneezing showed flunisolide to be significantly superior to sodium cromoglycate. Patients records of symptoms correlated well with daily pollen counts. Side‐effects were similar in both treatment groups and consisted mainly of mild naso‐pharyngeal irritations.
