Description
What is Nasonex Nasal Spray?
Nasonex is a corticosteroid nasal spray used to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as hay fever, and nasal polyps. It contains mometasone furoate, a synthetic corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the nasal passages. By alleviating swelling and irritation, Nasonex effectively relieves symptoms like nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itching. It is particularly helpful for those with persistent or severe allergy symptoms and is often prescribed when other over-the-counter allergy medications are insufficient.
How Does Nasonex Nasal Spray Work?
Nasonex nasal spray contains the active ingredient mometasone furoate, which is a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are a type of hormone that works by reducing inflammation. Mometasone furoate in Nasonex nasal spray helps to relieve allergy symptoms by blocking the release of certain substances in the body that cause inflammation. When you spray Nasonex nasal spray into your nose, the medication is absorbed through the membranes in your nose where it travels to the site of inflammation. It then works to reduce swelling and irritation. This can help relieve symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes. Nasonex nasal spray may also help to improve your breathing if you have allergies that affect your lungs. It starts to work within minutes and can last up to 12 hours.
