Mometasone Nasal Spray
Daily nasal steroid for allergic and chronic rhinitis
Mometasone (Nasonex) is a daily nasal steroid spray for seasonal allergies, chronic rhinitis, and nasal polyps. Effects build over a few days of regular use.
How the pharmacy helps
We dispense the spray bottle. Aim away from the nasal septum and keep daily use steady — sporadic use is less effective.
