Beconase-Aqueous is a nasal spray which prevents hayfever symptoms from flaring up. It’s also used for other nasal allergies like dust mites or pet hair.
Beconase-Aqueous can be used alongside antihistamine tablets or eye drops for hay fever. You should discuss any other medicines you are taking, or plan to take, with your pharmacist to make sure the combination is suitable.
It can take a few days for Beconase-Aqueous to work so it’s best to start taking it a week before pollen season so that you are protected against hay fever symptoms before they begin.
Beconase-Aqueous will help with any nasal allergies such as dust mites and pet hair alongside hay fever.
Beconase-Aqueous contains synthetic versions of the hormones produced by the adrenal gland. These hormones fight inflammation and control the body’s response to allergens. The active ingredient is Beclometasone which is a corticosteroid, more commonly known as a steroid. This is released into the nose through the spray to soothe inflamed nostrils and reduce symptoms like sneezing and a blocked, itchy or runny nose.
Beclometasone is the active ingredient in Beconase-Aqueous which is a type of steroid that reduces inflammation.
The inactive ingredients are: microcrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, dextrose, polysorbate 80, purified water, benzalkonium chloride and phenylethylalcohol.
Shake the canister vigorously before use. If it’s your first time using it, or if you haven’t used it in a while, then you’ll need to prepare the spray by pressing down on the release button six times. Once you see a fine mist being released, the medicine is ready for use. Tilt your head back slightly and spray into your nostrils as you breathe in. It needs to be replaced or thrown out three months after opening to prevent contamination from dirt or bacteria.
The standard dose is two sprays in each nostril once a day. This can be increased to a total of four sprays each over a 24 hour period if necessary. You should lower the dose once you start to feel better and always follow the instructions given to you by your doctor or pharmacist.
You should ask for advice from a doctor before using Beconase-Aqueous during pregnancy. It’s not fully known if it is safe or not.
The nasal spray won’t affect your ability to drive.
Alcohol will not have an adverse affect on you while taking Beconase-Aqueous.

Over the counter nasal sprays are available to treat hayfever and allergies. These may contain cromolyn sodium, an anti-inflammatory taken as a preventative measure before being exposed to an allergy. Dristan and Afrin are taken as decongestants but are not effective for allergies. Some pharmacy branded nasal sprays contain steroids and work in a similar way to Beconase-Aqueous. Getting a prescription medicine is the best way to ensure your allergy symptoms will be kept at bay.

These include mood changes, difficulty sleeping, increased appetite, high blood pressure and a weakening of the bones.
