What is Beconase and what is it used for?

Many people suffer from allergies, which for some can lead to allergic rhinitis causing symptoms such as:

· Itching inside the nose

· Congestion and a runny nose

Allergic rhinitis is where the nasal passages become inflamed and itchy in response to an invading allergen such as hayfever or dust mites.

To combat these symptoms, using a steroid nasal spray, such as Beconase has proven to provide effective relief.

For the best results, Beconase Nasal Spray should be started a few days before you are exposed to your rhinitis triggering allergen as it can take 2-3 days before you will experience its full effects.

Following this, you should continue to use Beconase regularly to help keep the symptoms at bay.

Beconase can be used in conjunction with other hay fever treatments, such as antihistamines including Cetirizine, Loradine and Piriton.

Beconase Nasal Spray contains 50 micrograms of the active ingredient beclometasone dipropionate. It is available to purchase online in bottles of approximately 200 metred sprays and is suitable for use by adults and children over the age of 6 years.

How does Beconase work?

Beconase Nasal Spray is applied directly to the nasal passages where the active ingredient is absorbed into the cells, it is here that it inhibits the cells from producing the chemicals that trigger an allergic response.

This prevents or reverses symptoms such as itching and congestion caused by inflammation.
