Overview

If hayfever leaves you with a blocked, itchy, or runny nose, beclometasone nasal spray provides targeted relief right where symptoms start. As the trusted generic alternative to Beconase, it reduces inflammation in the nasal passages to ease sneezing, congestion, and irritation — helping you breathe easier and feel more comfortable throughout allergy season.

This medicine requires a secure online consultation with a UK-registered prescriber, and will only be supplied if clinically appropriate.


What is Beclometasone


Beclometasone nasal spray is a corticosteroid treatment used to relieve allergy-related nasal symptoms. While antihistamines work by blocking histamine after it’s released, beclometasone tackles the root cause of hay fever and perennial allergies by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages. This helps to calm swelling and irritation, making it easier to breathe and keeping symptoms under control.

It is commonly prescribed for seasonal hay fever (allergic rhinitis) as well as year-round allergies caused by triggers such as dust mites, mould, or pet dander.

By working directly where symptoms occur, beclometasone provides effective relief from sneezing, congestion, itching, and a runny nose. When used consistently, it offers all-day protection throughout allergy season. As the generic version of Beconase, it contains the same active ingredient but at a more affordable price.

Directions

  • Adults aged 18 and over: Two sprays into each nostril twice daily (maximum 8 sprays per day)
  • Once symptoms are controlled, dosage may be reduced to one spray per nostril twice daily
  • Shake well before use
  • Use regularly for best results — it may take 2–3 days to feel the full benefit
  • Continue daily throughout allergy season or as directed by your prescriber


Always follow the instructions given by your prescriber or pharmacist.

Side Effects

Like all medicines, beclometasone nasal spray can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most are mild, short-lived, and improve as your body adjusts to treatment.

Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

  • Irritation or dryness in the nose or throat – a stinging, burning, or dry sensation may occur after spraying but often improves with regular use.
  • Sneezing after application – usually mild and temporary.
  • Nosebleeds – typically light and short-lived, though persistent bleeding should be reviewed by a healthcare professional.


Less common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

  • Headache – usually mild and relieved with rest or simple pain relief if needed.
  • Altered sense of smell or taste – temporary changes may occur but usually improve with time.


Rare but serious (seek urgent medical advice):

  • Eye pain or blurred vision – may be a sign of raised eye pressure and should be assessed promptly.
  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) – symptoms include swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or a sudden rash. This is extremely rare but requires immediate medical help.


Most people tolerate beclometasone nasal spray well, and side effects (if they do occur) are generally mild. If you are worried about any symptoms, or they do not improve, speak to your doctor, pharmacist, or prescriber.

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine for full details. If you experience severe or worrying symptoms, seek medical advice straight away. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.
