Many individuals suffer from allergies, which can lead to allergic rhinitis, manifesting as nasal itching, congestion, and a blocked nose. Allergic rhinitis occurs when the nasal passages become inflamed and itchy due to allergens such as hay fever or dust mites. For effective relief, steroid nasal sprays like Beclometasone are highly recommended.
Beclometasone Nasal Spray is an effective solution for managing allergic rhinitis symptoms. For optimal results, it is advisable to start using the spray a few days prior to exposure to allergens, as it may take 2-3 days to achieve its full effect. Regular use is essential to maintain symptom relief. Beclometasone can be used alongside other hay fever treatments, including antihistamines like cetirizine, loratadine, and Piriton.
Beclometasone nasal spray is absorbed directly into the cells of the nasal passages, where it inhibits the production of chemicals that cause allergic reactions. This action helps prevent or alleviate symptoms like itching and congestion resulting from inflammation.
