Description

Nasonex (generic name: Mometasone furoate) is a nasal allergy medication.

Taken just once a day, Nasonex helps relieve nasal allergy symptoms, such as congestion, sneezing, and an itchy or runny nose.

Nasonex can treat outdoor and year-round indoor nasal allergy symptoms in patients 2 years of age and older.

It is also used to help prevent most seasonal nasal allergy symptoms before they start in patients 12 years and older, when taken 2 to 4 weeks before the start of allergy season.

In addition, for patients 18 years and older, Nasonex can treat nasal polyps and help reduce the nasal congestion/obstruction they can cause.

For nasal allergy symptoms, once-a-day use of Nasonex provides day and nighttime relief. Nasonex is effective and has a proven safety profile.

Nasonex treats symptoms of both perennial (or indoor) and seasonal (or outdoor) nasal allergies - symptoms caused by allergens like dust mites, pet dander, mold, tree and grass pollen and others. Improvement can occur within 11 hours of initial treatment (based on single-dose studies done in a park during the pollen season and in a controlled pollen exposure room). The full benefit of Nasonex is usually achieved within 1 to 2 weeks.

Nasonex is non-habit forming and non-drowsy.
