Budenase AQ Nasal Spray is a corticosteroid-based nasal spray used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. It is also prescribed to reduce inflammation and shrink nasal polyps, which are non-cancerous growths in the nose caused by chronic inflammation. The spray contains Budesonide, which works by blocking certain chemical messengers that trigger allergy symptoms and swelling in the nasal passages. It is meant for regular use and should be taken at the same time each day for best results. Budenase AQ is not a quick-relief treatment and may take several days to show full benefits. Discontinuing the spray without medical advice may cause symptoms to return or worsen.

How Budenase AQ Nasal Spray works
Budenase AQ Nasal Spray contains Budesonide, a powerful anti-inflammatory steroid. When sprayed into the nose, it directly targets the inflamed tissues. It gets absorbed into the nasal lining where allergic reactions begin. The medicine blocks specific chemical signals that cause inflammation and allergic responses. As a result, swelling and irritation in the nasal passages decrease. The spray clears blocked nasal airways and reduces sneezing and mucus production. It does not provide instant relief, but regular use brings steady improvement. The medicine must be used daily, even if symptoms are mild. Skipping doses may delay symptom control. Good technique is key—correct positioning and gentle inhalation help the medicine reach affected areas. The spray is generally well tolerated. Rinsing your nose or throat after use can reduce mild irritation. Consistent use leads to better breathing and fewer allergy flares.
