Overview
Budenase Aqueous 64mcg Nasal Spray contains budesonide 64mcg in an aqueous nasal spray, an intranasal corticosteroid used for the regular treatment and prevention of symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as nasal congestion, sneezing, and a runny or itchy nose. It works best when used regularly rather than only when symptoms flare up.
Budesonide acts locally within the nasal lining, reducing the inflammation and swelling caused by an allergic reaction, which gradually relieves the congestion, sneezing, and discharge associated with allergic rhinitis.
How it Works
Budesonide binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the nasal mucosa, reducing the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators triggered by allergen exposure. With regular use, this decreases nasal tissue swelling and mucus production, relieving congestion, sneezing, and itching, though the full effect may take several days to develop.
Directions for Use
Blow your nose gently before using Budenase Aqueous 64mcg Nasal Spray, then shake the bottle. Tilt your head slightly forward, insert the nozzle into one nostril pointing away from the centre of your nose (the septum), and spray while breathing in gently. Repeat in the other nostril, avoiding spraying directly onto the septum, and wipe the nozzle clean after use.
Dosage
The usual adult dose of Budenase Aqueous 64mcg Nasal Spray is two sprays into each nostril once daily, or as directed by your doctor, with the dose sometimes reduced once symptoms are controlled. Regular daily use gives the best results, as the full anti-inflammatory effect builds up gradually over several days.
