What is Beconase Aq
Beclomethasone dipropionate
The Generic name of this drug
Treatment Summary
Beclomethasone dipropionate is an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis, and dermatoses. It comes in the form of an inhaler, dry powder inhaler, or an aqueous nasal spray. Beclomethasone dipropionate works by targeting the glucocorticoid receptor, reducing inflammation and providing relief from symptoms. Compared to earlier corticosteroids, beclomethasone dipropionate has a longer-lasting effect and is less irritating to the nasal mucosa.

Effectiveness
How Beconase Aq Affects Patients
Beclomethasone dipropionate is a drug used to treat asthma, allergies, and skin conditions. When taken, it reduces inflammation and improves lung function. It is mainly inhaled, but long-term use can lead to decreased hormone production and bone issues. It may also increase the risk of infections due to the suppression of the immune system. Inhaling beclomethasone dipropionate can cause a fungal infection in the mouth and throat.
How Beconase Aq works in the body
Beclomethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that works to reduce inflammation. After being activated, it binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the nucleus which then bind to genes that reduce inflammation. Corticosteroids also work by increasing the transcription of genes that code for anti-inflammatory proteins, and by inhibiting the expression of genes that code for pro-inflammatory proteins. This helps to reduce chronic inflammation by preventing the activity of inflammatory transcription factors and promoting histone deacetylation, which keeps DNA tightly coiled.
When to interrupt dosage
The proposed measure of Beconase Aq is dependent upon the diagnosed malady, such as Adrenal Cortex Hormones, Dermatosis and Nasal Polyps. The quantity of dosage relies upon the technique of application (e.g. Aerosol, metered; Suspension - Nasal or Powder - Respiratory (inhalation)) noted in the table beneath.
