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

What does Nasonex Do? 

The Nasonex active ingredient is mometasone furoate which belongs to the corticosteroid class. It works a little longer than antihistamines, but the effects last longer as it works on the immune system to reduce symptoms of inflammation and allergic reactions; it reduces swelling and mucus in the nose.  

Nasonex Nasal Spray is prescribed to treat and prevent seasonal and year-round allergy symptoms like congestion, runny nose, and sneezing; it can also treat nasal polyps. Nasal polyps are benign small growth in the lining of the nasal passage or sinuses that looks like hanging grapes; Nasonex Nasal Spray relieves inflammation and shrinks the growth over time, clearing the blocked feeling when breathing. 

Nasonex Dosage 

Nasonex 50 mcg nasal spray is prescribed based on the patient’s medical condition, other medicines’ intake, and treatment response. It is supplied in a polyethylene bottle with a manual pump and cap; each bottle contains 140 sprays of 50mcg. It is sprayed directly inside the nose, avoiding spraying in the eyes and mouth. Before application, blow your nose gently, then tilt your head while closing one of your nostrils by pressing it with your fingers, insert the nasal applicator on the open nostrils, gently press down the pump to release the prescribed dose of the drug, repeat the process in the other nostril. Wipe the nasal applicator after each use and put back the cap; avoid blowing the nose for at least 15 minutes after the application.  

Prescriptions differ for each patient; listed here are the usual doses, but follow how your doctor instructed you; children are prescribed smaller doses and need adult assistance when using the applicator.  

• For 12 years old and above treating allergic rhinitis, the usual prescription is two sprays in each nostril once a day with a total of 200mcg per day;  
• Children 2 years old up to 11 years old are given one spray in each nostril once a day with a total of 100mcg per day.  

• Adults treating nasal polyps are given two sprays for each nostril twice a day with a total of 400mcg per day, but some patients are given two sprays in each nostril once a day with a total of 200mcg per day.  

Using Nasonex Nasal Spray regularly at the same time of day each day is recommended to attain the most benefit of it; if a dose is missed, apply as soon as remembered, but if it is near the following application schedule, let it be skipped for double dosing is discouraged.
