About betamethasone nose drops

Betamethasone nose drops are used to treat inflammatory nose conditions. They contain a corticosteroid (sometimes called a 'steroid') which helps to relieve swelling, redness and irritation.

To make sure this is the right treatment for you, before you start using betamethasone nose drops it is important that your doctor knows:

• Se você já teve uma reação alérgica a um medicamento.

• If you think you have an infection in your nose.

• Se você fez alguma cirurgia no nariz recentemente.

• If you have tuberculosis (TB) in your lungs.

• Se você está grávida ou amamentando.

• Before you use the drops, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from the pack. It will give you more information about betamethasone and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you could experience.

• It is usual to use two to three drops in each nostril twice a day, although it is important that you use the drops as you have been advised by your doctor if it is different to this.

1. Assoe o nariz suavemente para limpá-lo.

2. Remova a tampa da garrafa.

3. In order to put the drops in so that the solution spreads all over the inside of your nose, it is best to lie on a bed with your head hanging backwards over an edge. An alternative is to kneel or bend forwards with your head down. (Do not stand with your head just tipped backwards, as the drops will not reach all the surfaces inside your nose if you do this.)

4. Put two or three drops into each nostril. Stay lying or bending down for two minutes after putting in the drops before getting up. This is so that the liquid stays for a while in your nose and does not immediately run out of your nose or down the back of your throat.

5. Replace the cap on the bottle after using the drops.
   

• Do not use the drops for longer than a week unless your doctor has specifically told you to do so.

• Não deixe ninguém mais usar suas gotas e não use as gotas de mais ninguém.

You may get a slight feeling of irritation or dryness. This is usually mild and soon passes. If you develop a skin rash or if you notice any other symptoms which you think may be due to the drops, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

• Mantenha todos os medicamentos fora do alcance e da vista das crianças.

• Armazene em local fresco e seco, longe de calor e luz diretos.

• In order to prevent the risk of infection, throw away any solution left in the bottle after you have finished your course of treatment. Do not keep it to use another time. Nose drops only keep for four weeks once the bottle has been opened.
