Benacort nasal spray contains the active ingredient budesonide, which is a type of medicine called a corticosteroid (or steroid for short). It works by reducing allergic reactions and inflammation in the nasal passages. The post-marketing data from Sweden on adverse events following non-prescription use of budenoside nasal spray between 1999 and 2017 did not raise any concerns which would impact the proposed reclassification to GSL. Paediatric population: This spray should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Maintenance treatment with inhaled budesonide (200 or 400 micrograms twice daily) in asthmatic nursing women results in negligible systemic exposure to budesonide in breast-fed infants. If you forget to use your nasal spray just leave out the forgotten dose. Don't use a double dose to make up for a missed dose.Reduced liver function affects the elimination of corticosteroids, causing lower elimination rate and higher systemic exposure.
