Beclomethasone Dipropionate Nasal prep

Beclomethasone Dipropionate Nasal prep is a corticosteroid used to manage nasal allergy and inflammatory conditions. It helps control symptoms of sinusitis, hay fever, allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps (post-surgical prophylaxis), and vasomotor rhinitis.

Beclomethasone controls the rate of protein synthesis, depresses the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and fibroblasts, reverses capillary permeability, and stabilizes lysosomes at the cellular level, reducing nasal inflammation and swelling.

Common side effects include nasopharyngeal irritation, headache, nausea, lightheadedness, sneezing attacks, nasal congestion, nosebleeds, and rhinorrhea.

• Sinusitis
• Hay fever
• Allergic rhinitis
• Non-allergic rhinitis
• Nasal polyps (post-surgical prophylaxis)
• Vasomotor rhinitis

Beclomethasone controls the rate of protein synthesis, depresses the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and fibroblasts, reverses capillary permeability, and stabilizes lysosomes at the cellular level to prevent or control inflammation.

Beclomethasone Dipropionate reduces inflammatory cells and mediators in the nasal mucosa, decreasing airway inflammation and hyperreactivity, helping control allergic symptoms.

Adults: 1-2 inhalations in each nostril twice daily.

Children (12 years and older): 1-2 inhalations in each nostril twice daily.
