Benacort Hay Fever Relief Nasal Spray contains an ingredient known as budesonide which is a type of corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are a group of medicines that mimic your body’s natural hormones produced in the adrenal glands and help reduce inflammation. Budesonide nasal sprays are used to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages which can happen when your body is exposed to an allergen such as pollen. 

Using budesonide nasal sprays such as Benacort regularly will help to reduce inflammation and the symptoms associated with this such as blocked nose, sneezing, runny nose and itching. Benacort nasal spray provides effective relief throughout the day and night.
