Manufacturer's Instructions
Uses Nasonex is used to treat and prevent nasal symptoms related to allergies (such as stuffiness or congestion). Nasonex may also be used for other nasal conditions (e.g., swelling).  Directions Shake Nasonex well before each use. Prime the spray pump as instructed by your pharmacist. Use as directed, generally two sprays in each nostril daily. Do not use Nasonex more often or longer than prescribed. Use Nasonex regularly during the prescribed treatment period for full benefit. If Nasonex is used for seasonal allergy, therapy is best started 2-4 weeks before the season. Improvement in symptoms occurs generally within 2 days and full benefit occurs after 1-2 weeks of use. If Nasonex overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. If you miss a dose of Nasonex, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.  Storage Store Nasonex at room temperature between 36 and 77 degrees F (2 -25 degrees C) away from light and moisture.  Cautions Before taking Nasonex tell your doctor your medical history, including: any allergies, current infections, other nasal problems, glaucoma, cataracts. Avoid exposure to chickenpox or measles while using corticosteroids (e.g., mometasone, prednisone), especially oral products. If exposed, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Though very unlikely, it is possible Nasacort will be absorbed into your bloodstream. This may have undesirable consequences that may require additional corticosteroid treatment. This is especially true for children and for those who have used this for an extended period if they also have serious medical problems such as serious infections, injuries or surgeries. This precaution applies for up to one year after stopping use of Nasonex. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Caution is advised in children as Nasonex may affect growth patterns. Consult child's doctor. Nasonex should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is not known whether Nasonex is excreted into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.  Interactions Tell your doctor of all nonprescription and prescription medication you may use, especially: other nasal products, other corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone). Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.  Side Effects Side effects of Nasonex may include headache or sore throat. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Very unlikely but report promptly: vision changes, unusual nasal bleeding or irritation/pain, blood-tinged mucus/phlegm, unusual increase in thirst or urination, nausea, weakness, weight loss. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to tNasonex, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
