Beclometasone Nasal Sprays for Hay Fever

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.

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.
