How effective is Beconase aqueous nasal spray?

As a steroid spray, Beconase Aqueous Nasal spray falls under a category of most effective nasal sprays for symptoms such as Allergic rhinitis and pet allergies. This medication can be used regularly and may take up to two weeks or more for a patient to feel its full benefit. Nonetheless, it is effective in treating and preventing the reoccurrence of allergic reaction since it reduces the release of inflammatory substances released in the body. Since patients respond differently to medication, you should always check with your doctor to determine if this steroid spray is appropriate for your or another alternative would suit you better. 

How does Beconase aqueous nasal spray work? 

Beconase Aqueous Nasal Spray contains an active ingredient known as beclometasonedipropionate, which works by decreasing the swelling of the air tracts in the lungs, thus making it easier for a patient to breathe.

Directions

How should I take Beconase aqueous nasal spray

Shake the 22gm bottle of Beconase Aqueous Nasal Spray and take off the dust cap.

Prime the spray by pumping it a few times until a fine mist is produced.

Blow your nose before spraying. Close one nostril using your forefinger and put the nozzle in your other nostril. The nozzle should be facing away from the opposite nostril.

Breathe in gently then press the collar of the spray with your fingers until a fine mist is released. Breathe out through the mouth and repeat this process for the other nostril. 

Once you’re done wipe the nozzle the replace the dust cap to seal.

Each 22mg of Beconase Aqueous Nasal Spray delivers 200 sprays.

How long do I take Beconase aqueous nasal spray for before I notice a difference? 

Beconase Aqueous Nasal Sprays should be used regularly for one to experience its full effect. Nonetheless, even if you notice an improvement in your symptoms after a few days of using the spray, do not stop treatment unless your doctor or pharmacist asks you to.

What dose should I choose?

Beconase Aqueous Nasal Spray is not suitable for children under the age of six years. Hence, for children above six years and adults, spray twice into each nostril two times a day. Each spray contains the strength of 50 micrograms of the active ingredient beclometasone dipropionate, therefore, do not exceed a dose of 8 sprays in a period of 24 hours. That is four sprays per nostril. 

Use the spray every day and regularly for a maximum period of 12 weeks. 

As your symptoms improve, the doctor may advise you to reduce the dosage to one spray per nostril twice a day. Do not use a higher dose than the doctor recommends that even if you do not see any improvement. The doctor might suggest you increase the dose to the first dose if symptoms get worse. 

Each unit (22gm) of Beconase Aqueous Nasal Spray contains 200 doses.
