1. Why am I using BECONASE ALLERGY & HAYFEVER?

BECONASE ALLERGY & HAYFEVER contains a corticosteroid called beclometasone dipropionate which treats inflamed tissue. The tiny amounts sprayed into your nose help to reduce swelling and irritation.

BECONASE ALLERGY & HAYFEVER can be used to treat and prevent seasonal allergic rhinitis (hayfever) and perennial allergic rhinitis (due to airborne allergens) in adults and children aged 12 years and over.

When you have rhinitis, the inside of your nose becomes swollen and itchy. This usually occurs during spring and summer when it is caused by breathing pollens from grasses or trees. This condition is called hayfever. Some people get problems all year round and this is called Perennial Rhinitis. It is often due to house dust mites or animals such as cats or dogs.

When you spray BECONASE ALLERGY & HAYFEVER into your nose it helps to relieve itching, sneezing and a blocked or runny nose.

BECONASE ALLERGY & HAYFEVER is non-drowsy, and is not addictive.

For nasal use only.
