Does anyone know if Entocort causes Sinus or sore throat issues?

Lisa I am not aware of any issues and did not experience any while taking Entocort. I checked the monograph and did not see any issues with the sinuses or the upper respiratory tract.

I developed sinus problems as soon as I stepped off the plane when we moved to Texas about 15 years ago... The colitis came over 5 years later. I can't say the problems have been any better or any worse since I started entocort.

I haven't noticed any problems with sinus or a sore throat.

No sinus problems for me from Entocort.

Actually, steroids are used to treat chronic sinus problems at times. Especially the inhaled steroid sprays to reduce inflammation. So who knows, maybe the little bit of systemic steroid in Entocort is helping?
