THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Corticosteroid for Nasal Use
ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Beclomethasone dipropionate is a potent anti-inflammatory steroid with
strong topical and weak
systemic activity. When inhaled intranasally at therapeutic doses, it
has a direct anti-
inflammatory action within the nasal mucosa, the mechanism of which is
not yet completely
defined. The minute amount absorbed in therapeutic doses has not been
shown to exert any
apparent clinical systemic effects.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
APO-BECLOMETHASONE NASAL SPRAY (beclomethasone dipropionate) is
indicated for
treatment of perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis, poorly
responsive to conventional treatment.
Beclomethasone dipropionate can significantly delay the recurrence of
nasal polyps in those
patients who have undergone nasal polypectomy. In those patients in
whom polyps do recur,
beclomethasone dipropionate aqueous suspension can prevent their
increase in size.
