Allergic Rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease of sino-nasal mucosa, is IgE-mediated, and affects 10–40% of the global population. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of nasal administration of Beclomethasone Dipropionate (BDP) delivered via Spray-sol with nasal spray in patients suffering from AR. We included 28 AR patients assigned to one of the two following treatments: the Spray-sol group (BDP via Spray-sol) (n = 13) and the spray group (BDP using a common nasal spray) (n = 15). Both treatments were administered twice daily for 4 weeks. A nasal endoscopy evaluation and Total Nasal Symptom Score were performed at baseline and after treatment. The Spray-sol group showed better results than the spray group regarding nasal endoscopy (edema, p < 0.01; irritation, p < 0.01; secretion, p < 0.01) and nasal symptoms (nasal congestion, p < 0.05; rhinorrhea, p < 0.05; sneezing, p < 0.05; and total score, p < 0.05). No side effects were recorded. These data supported the fact that the use of BDP delivered with Spray-sol is more effective than BDP nasal spray in AR patients. Further studies are needed to confirm these encouraging results.
