Mometasone Nasal Spray ? 50ml

Mometasone Furoate 50 micrograms Nasal Spray is a prescription corticosteroid nasal spray used to relieve inflammation and allergy symptoms affecting the nose. It helps reduce swelling, irritation, sneezing, itching, and a blocked or runny nose.

This medicine is commonly prescribed for:

• Hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis)
• Perennial allergic rhinitis (year-round allergies such as house dust mite or pet dander)
• Nasal polyps in adults (small growths inside the nose that can cause blockage and breathing difficulties)

Mometasone furoate works locally in the nose to control symptoms, helping to improve nasal airflow and comfort when used regularly as prescribed.

Always use this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist.
