OTC BECONASE TO BECOME AVAILABLE
- An over-the-counter formulation of Allen & Hanburys' Beconase aqueous nasal spray, to be called Beconase Hayfever (beclomethasone dipropionate) will be available in the UK from March 1. The drug changed from Prescription-only to Pharmacy status in the POM amendment which came into effect January 21, and becomes the first intranasal steroid to switch to OTC status in the UK. Sales and distribution of the new product will be carried out by Warner-Lambert Health Care on behalf of A&H, and it will retail at L4.99 ($7.46) for a 100 spray bottle.
