Budesonide and beclomethasone dipropionate in hay fever - a single blind comparison . 93 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis took part in a single blind randomized clinical comparison of budesonide and beclomethasone dipropionate ( Becotide Nasal ) . All patients were sensitive to either birch or grass pollen , their sensitivity being confirmed by a skin prick test . The total daily dose was 400 micrograms for both drugs . Budesonide was administered twice a day and Becotide Nasal four times a day . Symptoms were assessed over a four-week period starting with a run-in period of one week . There was no placebo control group . Daily pollen counts were measured throughout the trial . The patients ' diary cards revealed that both drugs had a beneficial therapeutic effect , and that budesonide was significantly more active than Becotide Nasal . The side effects of both drugs were few and transient .
