Beconase Hayfever Relief for Adults 0.05% Nasal Spray - 100 Sprays

The steroid nasal spray that treats hay fever at the source: Beconase's beclometasone dipropionate calms the inflammation in the nasal lining behind eight symptoms at once — nasal congestion, sneezing, a runny or itchy nose, sinus discomfort, and watery, itchy eyes. Used every day through the season, it prevents symptoms rather than chasing them. 100 sprays, adults 18+.

Antihistamines block one chemical; a corticosteroid spray switches off the whole inflammatory reaction in the nose. That's why steroid sprays are the most effective single hay fever treatment for blocked noses and sinus pressure, and why they work best started before or at the beginning of the season and used daily — the full effect builds over a few days.

Adults 18 and over: two sprays into each nostril twice a day, morning and evening, as directed on the pack. Shake, aim slightly away from the centre of the nose, and don't sniff hard. Keep using it daily even when symptoms settle. Don't use continuously for more than three months without seeing a GP.

Ask a pharmacist first if pregnant or breastfeeding, if you've had recent nasal surgery or infection, or take other steroid medicines. Mild nosebleeds or dryness are the usual side effects — ease off and mention it to the pharmacist if they persist.
