Overview
Besonin 50mcg Nasal spray contains budesonide 50mcg, a corticosteroid nasal spray used to treat and prevent symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, and a runny nose, whether caused by seasonal allergens (like pollen) or year-round triggers (like dust mites).
Budesonide works directly on the lining of the nose, reducing the local inflammatory response that causes swelling, excess mucus production, and irritation. Because it is applied topically, only a small amount is absorbed into the rest of the body.
How it Works
Budesonide is a topical corticosteroid that reduces the release of inflammatory chemicals (such as histamine and prostaglandins) in the nasal lining, dampening the allergic reaction responsible for congestion, sneezing, and nasal discharge. Regular daily use is needed for the full anti-inflammatory effect to build up.
Directions for Use
Blow your nose gently to clear it, then shake the bottle and prime it before first use or if not used for several days, following the instructions in the package leaflet. Tilt your head slightly forward, insert the nozzle into one nostril away from the central septum, and spray while breathing in gently through the nose; repeat for the other nostril as directed. Avoid blowing your nose immediately afterwards.
Dosage
The usual dose of Besonin 50mcg Nasal spray is one or two sprays into each nostril once or twice daily, as directed by your doctor, with the total daily dose adjusted according to symptom severity. Once symptoms are controlled, your doctor may advise reducing to the lowest dose that keeps symptoms managed.

Drug / Food Interactions
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitor medicines (e.g. ketoconazole, ritonavir) can increase the amount of budesonide absorbed into the body, raising the risk of systemic corticosteroid side effects
- Other nasal or inhaled corticosteroid products used at the same time may add to overall corticosteroid exposure
- Space other nasal sprays or medicines apart from your budesonide dose if instructed by your pharmacist
Quick Tips
- Use this nasal spray regularly every day for the best effect – it does not work as a one-off treatment for sudden congestion
- Aim the spray away from the central nasal septum to reduce irritation and nosebleeds
- Prime the spray pump as directed before first use or after a break in use
- Tell your doctor if your symptoms have not improved after a few weeks of regular use
