Q. My friend developed a severe allergic reaction when she started Beclometasone. Could it be due to Beclometasone even though it is used for allergy purposes?
In very rare cases, Beclometasone can cause serious allergic reactions such as rash, hives, breathing difficulty, swelling of the face, throat and tongue. It may also cause low blood pressure which may further cause lightheadedness and the patient may even faint. You should immediately contact your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms as it could be life threatening.
Q. For how long should I take Beclometasone?
It is recommended that you take Beclometasone for the duration advised by the doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Q. Is Beclometasone safe?

Q. I have developed chickenpox while using Beclometasone. Can Beclometasone be responsible for chickenpox? What should be done?
Beclometasone is a corticosteroid which can weaken the immune system of the body. The decrease in immune response could have been the cause of chickenpox. You should immediately stop the medication and contact the doctor. The doctor may consider treating it with antiviral agents.
Q. Does long-term use of Beclometasone have any side effects?
Usual doses of Beclometasone can be tolerated by most people for long periods of time. But, few people may develop nose bleed, hole in nasal cartilage, and visual disturbances due to cataract or glaucoma if they take Beclometasone for a long time. Moreover, high doses also tend to increase the risk of weakening of bones (osteoporosis) and diabetes.
Q. Can I take Beclometasone for a runny nose and sneezing due to the common cold?
No, Beclometasone is only meant for allergic rhinitis. Symptoms of common cold can be due to viral infection and this medicine does not cure such infections. Therefore, you may not benefit from Beclometasone.
