BECONASE (BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE MONOHYDRATE) SPRAY, SUSPENSION
DESCRIPTION
Beclomethasone dipropionate, monohydrate, the active component of
BECONASE AQ Nasal Spray, is
an anti-inflammatory steroid having the chemical name
9-chloro-11β,17,21-trihydroxy-16β-
methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione 17,21-dipropionate, monohydrate and
the following chemical
structure:
Beclomethasone 17,21-dipropionate is a diester of beclomethasone, a
synthetic halogenated
corticosteroid. Beclomethasone dipropionate, monohydrate is a white to
creamy-white, odorless
powder with a molecular weight of 539.06. It is very slightly soluble
in water, very soluble in
chloroform, and freely soluble in acetone and in ethanol.
BECONASE AQ Nasal Spray is a metered-dose, manual pump spray unit
containing a microcrystalline
suspension of beclomethasone dipropionate, monohydrate equivalent to
42 mcg of beclomethasone
dipropionate, calculated on the dried basis, in an aqueous medium
containing microcrystalline cellulose,
carboxymethylcellulose sodium, dextrose, benzalkonium chloride,
polysorbate 80, and 0.25% v/w
phenylethyl alcohol. The pH through expiry is 5.0 to 6.8.
After initial priming (6 actuations), each actuation of the pump
delivers from the nasal adapter 100 mg of
suspension containing beclomethasone dipropionate, monohydrate
equivalent to 42 mcg of
beclomethasone dipropionate. If the pump is not used for 7 days, it
should be primed until a fine spray
appears. Each 25-g bottle of BECONASE AQ Nasal Spray provides 180
metered sprays.

neutrophils, macrophages, and lym
