What is Mometasone Furoate?

What is the difference between Nasonex and Mometasone Furoate?
Nasonex is a brand of nasal spray which contains the same active ingredient in the same strength, Mometasone Furoate 50mcg/ spray. The generic version is medically equivalent, but is available at a lower price.
How to use Mometasone Furoate?
Mometasone Furoate can be used on a daily basis. The usual dose is two sprays into each nostril once a day. When you find that your symptoms are under control, this may be reduced to one spray into each nostril once a day.
How to use the nasal spray
Before using Mometasone Furoate for the first time, you will need to ‘prime’ the bottle by spraying the pump 10 times until a fine mist is produced.
- Shake the bottle gently and remove the dust cap.
- Gently blow your nose.
- Close one nostril and put the nozzle of the spray bottle into your other nostril. Tilt your head forward and keep the bottle upright.
- Start to breathe in slowly through your nose and pump the spray once whilst breathing in.
- Breathe out through your mouth.
Repeat this step to apply a second dose to the same nostril and two doses to the other nostril.
After using the spray, wipe the nozzle and replace the dust cap.
Cleaning your nasal spray
The spray needs to be cleaned regularly and properly by removing the dust cap and pulling of the nozzle gently. Wash both parts in warm water then rinse under a running tap and allow to dry in a warm place.
Once dried, place the spray back together and re-prime with two sprays in prep for the next use.
Do not try and unblock the nasal applicator by inserting a sharp object inside as this can damage the spray and you may get the incorrect dose of the medicine.
