Alanase 50 Aquecous

Uses
Alanase (Beclomethasone Dipropionate) is a nasal spray used to help prevent symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, itchiness and nasal congestion. The active ingredient in this product is a type of corticosteroid, which works by reducing swelling and inflammation inside the nose. Doctors will also prescribe this product to patients who have recently undergone surgery to remove nasal growths (also referred to as polyps), as post surgery use of this product has proven successful at preventing the return of polyps.

Dosage and Administration
Alanase (Beclomethasone Dipropionate) nasal spray should be administered directly to the nose. Your doctor will tell you how often you should use it, as well as the length of time for which treatment is required. Adult patients are normally told to administer 1 to 2 sprays to each nostril twice per day. Before delivering the spray into your nose, it is recommended that you gently blow your nose. Some patients will notice an improvement in their symptoms very soon after using this product, sometimes after only 3 days of use. However, it will normally take 2 weeks for the full benefits of treatment with this drug to be noticed. If no improvement is noticed after 3 weeks of treatment, you should consult your doctor.
