Budesonide nasal spray is used to prevent or ease rhinitis. This is a condition where the inside of your nose becomes inflamed and irritated. Common symptoms include sneezing, a blocked or congested nose, a runny nose (watery discharge), and an itchy nose. It is commonly caused by allergies, such as hay fever. Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids. It reduces inflammation and swelling and so relieves the congestion, itching, sneezing, irritation and discomfort of rhinitis. Budesonide nasal spray is prescribable by a doctor. You can also buy smaller packs at a pharmacy, without a prescription, for the treatment of hay fever.
