To @Lari:
Although Ryaltis is intended for patients over 12 years of age according to the manufacturer's recommendations, it is often included in the treatment of allergic rhinitis with the consent of the caregiver/parent due to its beneficial therapeutic effect.
A doctor has the right to use the medicine to the best of his or her knowledge and experience, not on the basis of the manufacturer's instructions. It is also a common practice. If your doctor decides to use Ryaltis in a younger child, you will need to monitor your child's growth closely and adjust the dosage.
Ryaltris contains a corticosteroid that may slow down the growth rate in children.

If you are concerned about this situation, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
Good morning, I wanted to ask you how it went with the spray, even my doctor prescribed this for my 5 year old daughter, and I am so scared given her age, thank you

Sometimes the doctor decides to prescribe a drug to the child, which is intended for an older age group, if his knowledge and experience shows that such a procedure is rational and safe. This therapy is called off-label and is a relatively common practice in paediatrics: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami Ryaltris contains two active substances, mometasone furoate and olopatadine. It is indicated above 12 years, as the safety and efficacy in younger children have not yet been established. It is mainly about olopatadine, because mometasone is used in pediatric otolaryngology. Nasal administration itself is considered quite safe, because the drug is supposed to act locally within the mucosa. From a pharmaceutical point of view, I cannot give further recommendations, because off-label therapy always remains a method for which the doctor bears full responsibility. Nevertheless, I believe that you should trust his assessment. If you have doubts, the solution may be to consult another specialist.
