The usual dose of Nasonex is two sprays into each nostril once daily. Once your symptoms are under control the dose should be reduced to one spray in each nostril daily. Whilst suitable for regular daily it is advisable to discontinue this medicine periodically, especially if your rhinitis is seasonal.

Each metered spray of Nasonex contains 50mcg of Mometasone Furoate

Symptoms should start improving within a few days but the real benefits obtained from Nasonex only occur if the medicine is used every day to prevent symptoms rather than treat them.

Preparing your nasal spray for use:

Your Nasonex Nasal Spray has a dust cap which protects the nozzle and keeps it clean. Remember to take this off before using the spray and to replace it after use. If you are using the spray for the first time you need to ‘prime’ the bottle by pumping the spray 10 times until a fine mist is produced.

1. Gently shake the bottle.
2. Put your forefinger and middle finger either side of the nozzle and your thumb underneath the bottle. Do Not pierce the nasal applicator.
3. Point the nozzle away from you and then press down with your fingers to pump the spray 10 times until a fine mist is produced.

If you have not used the spray for 14 days or more, you need to “re-prime” the bottle by pumping the spray 2 times until a fine mist is produced.
