Beconase Aq Information:

• What

What is Beconase AQ?

Beconase AQ is a nasal spray that contains a corticosteroid drug called beclomethasone. It works by reducing inflammation and may block histamine and other irritating substances produced by the immune system. In addition to allergies, Beconase AQ can be prescribed to prevent nasal polyps from returning. This medication should NOT be used to treat symptoms resulting from an infection.

• How

How do I take Beconase AQ?

The first time you use a bottle of Beconase AQ, or if you have not used it for seven days, you must prime the pump before using to get the correct dose. To do this, press down completely on the pump four times or until a full spray is released. After doing this, you will see 120 doses remaining in the bottle. Blow your nose to clear it as best as possible before using the spray. Tilt your head back and close one nostril with your fingers while you insert the spray nozzle into the affected nostril. Exhale completely. Pump one spray into the nostril as you inhale through the nostril. Hold your breath for several seconds and then exhale. Repeat the same process on the other side or apply two sprays if your doctor has prescribed it. This medication is usually used twice daily. Always follow your doctor’s dosing instructions.
