Beconase AQ Nasal Spray
People who have either allergic or nonallergic rhinitis may benefit from Beconase® AQ (beclomethasone nasal spray). This product can also help prevent nasal polyps from returning after surgery.
Be sure to shake your bottle well before each use and blow your nose before each dose. Breathe in gently while spraying Beconase AQ into your nose. Do not try to inhale the spray or breathe in too deeply, as the medicine works when it comes in contact with the inside surfaces of the nose, not the throat or lungs.
Although most people have no problems with Beconase AQ, this nasal spray is not right for everyone and side effects are possible. If you have sores or injury in the inside of the nose, you may need to use a different medication. Nasal and throat irritation may occur with use.
