Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Infections of the nose and paranasal sinuses should be treated appropriately, but they are not a specific reason to avoid using Beclometasone nasal spray. Extra care is needed when switching a patient from an oral (systemic) steroid to Beclometasone nasal spray if there is any reason to think their adrenal gland function may be impaired.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in anyone known to be hypersensitive to any component of this preparation. Infections of the nose and paranasal sinuses should be treated appropriately in their own right, but their presence does not rule out the use of Beclomethasone nasal spray.
