Beconase

Product details

Beconase Hayfever contains the active substance beclometasone diproprionate.

Beconase Hayfever is used to prevent and treat the common symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including hayfever such as sneezing and a runny, itchy or blocked-up nose.

The active ingredient is beclomethasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid which, when used every day, has an anti-inflammatory action and works in a similar way to natural body chemicals to control inflammation. This nasal spray helps to control your body’s reactions to allergens (‘triggers’) in the environment.

You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 14 days.

What Beconase Hayfever looks like and contents of the pack

The plastic bottle contains 180 aqueous sprays.

Before using a new bottle of Beconase Hayfever

  • When doing this make sure you do not point the nozzle at yourself or someone else.
  • If the spray still doesn’t work, try to clean it as described under the ‘To clean the spray’ section. Do not try to unblock or enlarge the tiny spray hole with a pin or other sharp objects because this will destroy the spray mechanism.

  5. Breathe out through your mouth. Repeat step 4 in the same nostril for a second spray.
  6. Remove the nozzle from the nostril and breathe out through your mouth.
  7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for the other nostril.
  8. After using the spray, wipe the nozzle carefully with a clean tissue or handkerchief and replace the dust cap.
