Budesonid Nasenspray

Übersicht

Budesonide nasal spray is a type of corticosteroid used to prevent or ease Rhinitis. This is a condition where the inside of your nose becomes inflamed and irritated. It is commonly caused by allergies, such as Heuschnupfen.

Common symptoms include sneezing, a blocked or congested nose, a runny nose (watery discharge), and an itchy nose.

Budesonide nasal spray is also prescribed as a treatment for Nasennebenhöhlen. Polyps are small growths inside the nose that can cause symptoms similar to allergic rhinitis.

It is prescribable by a doctor. You can also buy smaller packs at a pharmacy, without a prescription, for the treatment of hay fever.

Budesonide nasal spray works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages.

This helps relieve the congestion, itching, sneezing, irritation, and discomfort associated with rhinitis.

Common side effects of budesonide nasal spray are:

• Niesen.

• Nose irritation.

• Slight bleeding.

You will find a full list in the manufacturer's information leaflet inside your pack.

Die unerwünschten Wirkungen bessern sich oft, wenn sich Ihr Körper an das neue Medikament gewöhnt, aber sprechen Sie mit Ihrem Arzt oder Apotheker, wenn Nebenwirkungen anhalten oder problematisch werden.

If you experience any other symptoms which you think may be due to the spray, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

Before you start using budesonide, it is important that your doctor or pharmacist knows:

• Wenn Sie eine Infektion in Ihrer Nase haben.

• Haben Sie kürzlich eine Operation an Ihrer Nase gehabt?.

• Wenn Sie Tuberkulose (TB) haben.

• If you are pregnant. This is because, while you are expecting a baby, you should only take medicines on the recommendation of a doctor.

• If it is intended for a child. Budesonide is suitable for children over the age of 12, but only if it has been prescribed by a doctor.

• Wenn Sie andere Medikamente einnehmen oder verwenden. Dazu gehören alle Medikamente, die Sie ohne Rezept kaufen können, sowie Kräuter- und Ergänzungsmittel.

• Wenn Sie jemals eine allergische Reaktion auf ein Medikament hatten.

1. Read the manufacturer's instructions to make sure you know how to work the spray.

2. Shake the bottle and remove the protective cap. (Before you use the spray for the first time, activate the spray a few times until you can see a fine mist in the air.)

3. Blasen Sie sanft in die Nase, um sie zu klären.

4. Close one nostril by placing a finger against one side of your nose. Then, using your other hand, put one finger on each side of the nozzle of the bottle and insert the nozzle into your open nostril. Try to keep the bottle upright as you do this.

5. Activate the spray by pushing down on the collar around the bottle. Repeat if you are using two sprays for each dose.

6. Wiederholen Sie den obigen Schritt in Ihrem anderen Nasenloch.

7. Wipe the nozzle with a clean tissue and replace the cap. (If the nozzle becomes blocked, you can remove it from the bottle and rinse it under warm water.)

• Read the patient leaflet before use. It explains how to use the spray and lists possible side effects.

• Use as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. The usual starting dose is two sprays in each nostril once daily, or one spray in each nostril twice daily. Once symptoms are controlled, the dose may be reduced. Treatment may continue for up to three months.

• For hay fever, start early if advised. Using the spray 2–3 weeks before the pollen season can help prevent symptoms from developing.

• Use the spray regularly. If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless your next dose is due. Do not take two doses to make up for a missed dose.

• Do not exceed the recommended dose or treatment duration. This may increase the risk of side effects.

• Bewahren Sie alle Medikamente außerhalb der Reichweite und Sicht von Kindern auf.

• Store the spray upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and light.

• Check the label for how long you can use budesonide spray once it has been opened. Do not use or store the spray for longer than this time.
