Budesonide 64 mcg/per spray

Spray

Treatment and prevention of signs and symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis.

Posology

For nasal use only.

The dosage should be determined individually. The dose should be titrated to the lowest dose at which effective control of symptoms is maintained.

The duration of the therapy with Budesonide nasal spray should be restricted to the period of allergen exposure and depends on the nature and the characteristics of the allergen. For a full therapeutic benefit regular use is essential.

Allergic rhinitis

Adults, adolescents and children from 6 years of age:

The recommended initial dose of 256 micrograms may be administered once daily in the morning or divided into two administrations, in the morning and in the evening.

2 actuations into each nostril once daily in the morning or 1 actuation into each nostril in the morning and in the evening

Children should be treated under guidance of an adult.

Treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis should be initiated, if possible, before the patient is exposed to allergens.

Concomitant therapy may sometimes be necessary to treat the symptoms affecting the eye caused by the allergy.

Maintenance dose
