Safely Buy Nasonex Nasal Spray ( Mometasone Furoate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Nasonex nasal spray is a medication used to prevent and relieve symptoms of sneezing, runny, stuffy, or itchy nose caused by hay fever or other allergies.

Nasonex nasal spray contains mometasone furoate, which is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages.

Nasonex spray is a scent-free mist that delivers non-drowsy allergy medicine directly to the site of congestion.

Use and Dosage

If you are using the over-the-counter product to self-treat, read and follow all directions on the product package before using this medication. If you have any questions, consult your pharmacist. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, use it as directed.

Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using mometasone and each time you get a refill. Follow the illustrated directions for the proper use of this medication. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Use this medication in the nose as directed by your doctor or the product package, usually once or twice daily. Do not spray the eyes or mouth. Gently blow your nose before using this drug. Shake the bottle well before each use. Follow the instructions to properly prime the spray pump.

Remove the protective cap before use. Close one nostril by pressing it with your finger. Tilt your head forward and carefully insert the nasal applicator into the other nostril. Press down firmly on the bottle to deliver the prescribed number of sprays. Do not spray directly onto the middle wall of your nose (nasal septum). Breathe gently through your nose and out through your mouth. Repeat in the other nostril. Wipe the applicator tip and replace the plastic cap. Avoid blowing your nose for 15 minutes after using this medication. If a child is using this medication, an adult should supervise the child.

The dosage is based on your age, medical condition, and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than directed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase. Children may need to use this drug for a shorter amount of time to lower the risk of side effects. If a child is using the over-the-counter product, read the package information to see how long it may be used and when you should check with the doctor.

This medication does not work right away. Some people will feel this medication working within 1 to 2 days, but it may take up to 2 weeks before the full benefit of this drug takes effect. When using mometasone to prevent seasonal allergy symptoms, you may need to start this medication 2 to 4 weeks before pollen season begins. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you should also use other medications (such as nose drops/spray, allergy drugs taken by mouth) along with this drug until it takes full effect.

Keep track of the number of sprays used from the bottle. Discard the bottle after you have used the number of sprays specified on the manufacturer’s package. Follow the package instructions to unblock the spray tip if needed and to clean the spray bottle.

Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen.
