Summary of "اية الفرق بين بيكلو و نازونكس بخاخ | Nasonex VS Beclo"
Product Comparison Video: Beclo (Beclomethasone) vs Nasonex (Mometasone Furoate) Nasal Sprays
Main Features & Mechanism of Action
- Beclo (Beclomethasone):
- A topical corticosteroid spray that works locally in the nose to reduce inflammation.
- Binds to glucocorticoid receptors in immune cells, stopping production of inflammatory substances (histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins).
- Reduces nasal congestion, mucus, sneezing, and runny nose.
- Effects appear within a few days; full effect after 1-2 weeks.
- Works best when used regularly, not only during symptom flare-ups.
- Nasonex (Mometasone Furoate):
- Also a topical corticosteroid but newer and stronger than Beclo.
- Highly potent with strong anti-inflammatory effects even at low doses.
- Very low systemic absorption, making it safer for long-term use.
- Reduces activity of eosinophils and mast cells involved in allergies.
- Starts working in 2-3 days; best results after about 2 weeks.
- Used regularly for maintenance and prevention, including pre-seasonal allergy prophylaxis.
Indications for Use
Both sprays are prescribed for:
- Allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial).
- Non-Allergic rhinitis with similar symptoms but no allergy diagnosis.
- Nasal polyps (reduce size and prevent growth/recurrence post-surgery).
- Post-surgical inflammation control (after sinus or polyp surgery, once wounds heal).
- Chronic sinusitis or chronic rhinitis (more commonly Nasonex).
- Prevention of allergy symptoms before allergy season (noted especially for Nasonex).
Side Effects
- Common to both:
- Nasal dryness or slight irritation/stinging initially.
- Mild nosebleeds if sprayed incorrectly (spray should be angled away from nasal septum).
- Sore throat or hoarseness if spray drips into throat; rinsing mouth after use helps.
- Rare fungal infections in nose or mouth due to local immune suppression.
- Possible mild headaches (rare).
- Potential slight growth suppression in children with long-term/high-dose use.
- Specific warnings:
- Avoid use during active nasal infections (purulent discharge, bad odor).
- Avoid use immediately after nasal surgery or with unhealed wounds.
- Allergic reactions to active ingredients require immediate cessation.
- Children under 6 years (Beclo) and under 2 years (Nasonex) should avoid use or use only under strict medical supervision.
- Caution if using other corticosteroids systemically to avoid cumulative side effects.
Dosage
- Beclo:
- Adults: 2 sprays per nostril once or twice daily.
- Children (6-11 years): 1 spray per nostril twice daily; possibly reduced to once daily.
- Not for children under 6 without medical supervision.
- Nasonex:
- Adults (12+): 2 sprays per nostril once daily initially; may reduce to 1 spray per nostril daily for maintenance.
- Children (2+): 1 spray per nostril once daily.
- Not for children under 2 years.
