Becodefence and Beconase are two different nasal sprays in the BecoAllergy range.

Beconase is a steroid spray used to ease 8 hay fever and allergy symptoms in adults for up to 24 hours.

Beconase is at its best when used every day, as its anti-inflammatory action will build.

On the other hand, Becodefence is a drug-free product used at the very first signs of hay fever symptoms to keep them from developing further.

Hay fever is a common allergy that many people suffer with over the Spring and Summer months.

Hay fever happens because you’re allergic to the pollen, which is created by plants as they grow.

So, as the weather gets warmer, the pollen count usually gets higher, triggering your allergic symptoms.

This is why many people start taking hay fever tablets over the warmer months, keeping their hay fever in check so they can enjoy the Summer without sneezing the whole time!

Hayfever is a very common allergy, but how are you supposed to know if you have hay fever?

Sure, you might get a couple of coughs and sneezes in the summer months, but is that just a cold or is hay fever to blame?

If you’ve ever wondered about hay fever and whether you could have it yourself, we’re here to help.

This our handy guide to what hay fever is and how you could be diagnosed with one of the world’s most common allergies.

There are so many different kinds of hay fever treatments out there that it can be difficult to know where to start, so today we’re going to break it all down so you can decide exactly which product is the best choice for you.

Like all medications, beclometasone dipropionate can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Some of the most common side effects of beclometasone include:

• Blurred vision
• Your nose or throat feeling dry, sore, or irritated
• An unpleasant taste or smell
• Nose bleeds

If you experience these or any other side effects while using beclometasone, stop use and speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

For a full list of the side effects of your own medicine, please read the patient information leaflet that comes with it carefully.

Beclometasone is not suitable for use by children or adolescents under the age of 18.

If your child is suffering from hay fever and you need a way to ease their symptoms, speak to your doctor or pharmacist so they can help you to find suitable medication for them.

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding you should speak to your doctor before taking any medication, including beclometasone.

Some medications may not be safe for you or your baby at this time.

However, doctors often recommend that pregnant or breastfeeding women start to treat their hay fever or allergy symptoms with a nasal spray or eye drops as a first port of call, so make sure you ask a medical professional whether beclometasone is suitable for you and only use it under their recommendation.

If you’re using hay fever tablets, then you may be able to use a beclometasone nasal spray at the same time to help to ease your blocked nose and sneezing.

However, you should always speak to your doctor or pharmacist before doing so to make sure that the medications you’re taking are safe to be used together and won’t interact.

You do not need a prescription for any of these products, however, you will be asked to complete a short medical questionnaire by your Chemist4U pharmacist before we can take your order.

This includes some simple questions that all pharmacies legally are required to ask before supplying this kind of product.

This helps our pharmacy team to be sure that this treatment is the best choice for you.
