Treatment Details

What is Nasonex and what is it used for?
Nasonex nasal spray can effectively treat and prevent the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Nasonex effectively treats both seasonal and year-round allergies including hayfever, house dust and animals. As well as helping to treat growths in the nose known as, nasal polyps.
Nasonex contains the active ingredient Mometasone furoate, which is a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids, such as Mometasone have anti-inflammatory properties helping to improve symptoms of allergic rhinitis by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages.
Nasonex Nasal Spray is available on prescription in 18-gram bottles containing approximately 140 metered doses. This nasal spray can be used by adults and children over the age of 3 years.
How does Nasonex work?
Unfortunately, allergic rhinitis cannot be cured, however, the symptoms can be effectively managed with treatments like Nasonex. The corticosteroid works by stopping the immune system’s inflammatory response to allergens. This prevents unwanted allergy symptoms from developing and helps to improve symptoms once you have already developed a reaction.
