What is Beconase

Beclomethasone dipropionateThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryBeclomethasone dipropionate is a steroid medication used to reduce inflammation and treat symptoms associated with asthma, allergies, and skin conditions. It is available in a pressurized metered-dose inhaler, dry powder inhaler, and aqueous nasal spray. Beclomethasone dipropionate is less irritating to the nasal mucosa and works longer than older corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone and prednisolone, when administered intranasally.

Effectiveness

How Beconase Affects PatientsBeclomethasone dipropionate is a drug used to treat conditions caused by inflammation, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and skin conditions. When taken as an inhalant, it can improve lung function, help with breathing, and reduce asthma symptoms. However, long-term use or large doses may affect the body's hormone system, reduce bone density, and interfere with growth, particularly in children. It also has the potential to weaken the immune system and increase the risk of developing infections.
How Beconase works in the bodyBeclomethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that helps fight inflammation. It works by binding to the glucocorticoid receptors in cells and signals them to produce anti-inflammatory proteins. It also stops the production of pro-inflammatory proteins that cause chronic inflammation. Lastly, it helps to relax the DNA around the cells, preventing transcription factors from activating genes that cause inflammation.

When to interrupt dosage

The prescribed dosage of Beconase is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Adrenal Cortex Hormones, Dermatosis and Nasal Polyps. The amount of dosage is contingent upon the delivery system (e.g. Aerosol, metered; Suspension - Nasal or Powder - Respiratory (inhalation)) indicated in the table beneath.

Beconase Reviews: What are patients saying about Beconase?

5Patient Review
6/29/2009
Beconase for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy
Though it's an older drug, this steroid is still effective for twelve hours. I imagine the patent running out has something to do with the lack of advertisement. Helps a ton with seasonal allergies and can also act as a light psycho-stimulant if taken orally (in pill form).
