Beconase/Beclometasone

This belongs to a group of medicines called steroids, these work by reducing inflammation, swelling and irritation in your nose. They also help to relieve itching, sneezing and a blocked or runny nose.

Beclometasone is absorbed into the cells of the nasal lining and this works by stopping the sells from releasing any chemicals that can trigger allergic and inflammatory reactions. This does relieve blocked or runny noses and sneezing.

Helps to reduce the allergy symptoms such as swelling, redness and itching in your nose.

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or healthcare specialist has told you. Check with your

Allergic reactions: get a doctor’s help straight away

A small number of people get allergic reactions, which can develop into a more serious,
even life-threatening problem if not treated. Symptoms include;
• becoming very wheezy or having difficulty with breathing
• swelling around the face or throat
If this happens, tell your doctor straight away – you may need urgent medical treatment.
Immediately after you use your spray
• You may sneeze a little, but this soon stops.
• Very occasionally you may find you get an unpleasant taste or smell.

Tell your doctor as soon as possible if you notice any of the following side effects:
Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people)
• A dry or painful nose or throat.
• Bad nose bleeds.
• Mild allergic reactions including skin rashes or redness, itching or weals like nettle rash or hives.

Very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people)
• Damage to your nose
• Cloudy lens in the eye (cataract)
• Increased pressure in the eye (glaucoma)

Very rarely, the normal production of steroids in your body may be affected. This is more likely to
happen if you use high doses for a long time. Your doctor will help stop this happening by making
sure you use the lowest dose of steroid which controls your symptoms. In children this side effect can rarely cause them to grow more slowly than others. Children who receive this treatment for a long period of time will have their height checked regularly by their doctor.
