How Nasonex Works

Mometasone is a topical corticosteroid that reduces inflammation inside the nose, targeting symptoms directly at their source. It helps reduce the release of substances that cause allergy-related swelling, redness, and irritation.

Relief can begin within 12–24 hours, but maximum benefit may take several days of regular use.

Precautions & Warnings

• Long-term use may require periodic medical check-ups
• Use with caution if you are also using oral steroids
• Monitor for nasal bleeding or irritation
• Avoid contact with eyes
• Keep out of reach of children

If symptoms persist beyond 14 days, consult a healthcare provider.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Nosebleeds
• Headache
• Nasal irritation or dryness
• Sore throat

Rare but serious side effects include:

• Signs of infection (e.g. fever, persistent sore throat)
• Eye pain or visual disturbances
• Allergic reactions such as swelling of the face or difficulty breathing

Seek immediate medical help if serious side effects occur.
