Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / November 2005Beconase Spray?
Hi I used to Beconase for asthma for years. Changed my life. Went overseas & didn't get asthma as I was away from the pollen, cigarette smoke etc that used to cause my asthma. Have returned to NZ ... & my asthma has returned, too. Off to the Doctor. Got the Beconase. But it's not same! (And not as effective for me). The Beconase that I used to use, was in a little pressurised gas cannister that slotted into a beige dispenser. I had to press it & inhale it through my nose. It would also go down, I guess, to my lungs. What I have now is a white plastic squirt bottle that works on my nose only. Can anyone tell me if the original Beconase that I used to use is still available (& what I have to ask for) - or what it's equivalent is? Thanks in advance. > Hi > I used to Beconase for asthma for years. Changed my life.

Hey Angie, I remember that stuff....I was perscribed it when I was younger (10-ish)but not for anything asthma related (I was only diagnosed with asthma recently and I'm well into adulthood now). If memory serves, I was on it as my nasal passages hadn't kept pace with the growth of the rest of me and I had developed a very nasal voice.... If they are still using it for nasal problems, I can understand the change (a mist so it stays in the nose) and with the advances in other treatments for asthma, I doubt you'd find the old version out there anymore. I'd say find a local doctor who is well informed about asthma and willing to work with you to meet your needs and then go from there. Perhaps they can suggest some alternatives.

I did hear some rumblings that someone might be comming out with a dry powder nasal spray but I don't thave any details.  Signature00doc |
