DIPROBEC CREAM

Uses and Benefits of DIPROBEC CREAM (BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE 0.05% w/v)

This composition is mainly used to treat inflammation of the nasal passages caused by allergies or other conditions.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Allergic rhinitis (seasonal or year-round, including hay fever)
• Non-allergic rhinitis with sneezing, congestion, and nasal discharge
• Nasal polyps, sometimes, to reduce their size and symptoms
• Prevention of recurrence of nasal symptoms with regular use

HOW IT WORKS

• It is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lining of the nose
• It lowers swelling, mucus production, and irritation caused by allergens
• Regular use helps prevent symptoms rather than giving instant relief
• It works locally in the nose with minimal absorption into the rest of the body

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• It is not a treatment for common cold or viral infections
• It does not relieve sudden nasal blockage instantly like decongestant sprays
• It is not used for eye infections or skin conditions
• It is not a substitute for oral antihistamines when systemic allergy symptoms are present

Your doctor will decide the exact strength, frequency, and duration based on your condition.
