irrigations (total dose of 2 mg per day), there were no de-
tectable cases of HPA suppression in this patient cohort.
Future prospective studies with larger sample sizes are
needed to confirm the findings from this study to ensure
high-volume budesonide irrigations are a safe, long-term
therapeutic option for CRS.
