Product introduction

Budenase AQ Nasal Spray is used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as sneezing and runny nose. It is also used to reduce swelling and shrink nasal polyps. It works by blocking the production of certain chemicals that cause swelling and allergies, thus relieving the discomfort and irritation in the nose.

You should always use Budenase AQ Nasal Spray as advised by your doctor but to get the full benefit you should use it regularly. It may take a few days for the spray to take full effect. If you do not see an improvement in your symptoms after a week you should talk to your doctor.

The most common side effects of Budenase AQ Nasal Spray include nasal irritation, nosebleeds, and throat irritation. Talk to your doctor if you are worried about side effects or they do not go away. Using corticosteroids like Budenase AQ Nasal Spray makes you more susceptible to viral infections, so you should stay away from people who have these infections. In general, try to avoid situations that make your symptoms worse (things like pollen and dust mites) and it is best not to smoke.

Before starting to use Budenase AQ Nasal Spray you should let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you.

Benefits of Budenase AQ Nasal Spray

In Treatment of Sneezing and runny nose due to allergies

Budenase AQ Nasal Spray, when sprayed into your nose, will reduce swelling and irritation and relieve symptoms such as blocked or stuffy nose, sneezing, and itchy or watery eyes. It is less likely than some other medicines to cause high blood pressure or changes in your sodium or potassium levels. This medicine works in your nose to block the effects of substances like pollen, dust mites and mold that can trigger allergic reactions. This will make it easier for you to go about your daily activities without worrying so much about getting an allergic reaction. It may not work straight away, so use it regularly as prescribed to get the most benefit. If you see no improvement after a week, talk to your doctor.

In Treatment of Nasal polyps

Budenase AQ Nasal Spray reduces inflammation and shrinks the polyps. It helps alleviate symptoms like nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing associated with nasal polyps. By targeting the underlying inflammation, budesonide helps improve nasal airflow and overall quality of life for individuals with nasal polyps.

Side effects of Budenase AQ Nasal Spray

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Budenase AQ

How to use Budenase AQ Nasal Spray

Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breath gently and keep the head upright. Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.

How Budenase AQ Nasal Spray works

Budenase AQ Nasal Spray is a steroid. It gets absorbed into the cells of the inner surface of the nose and works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) and allergies. This relieves blocked or runny nose, sneezing and sinus discomfort.
