Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Mometasone furoate nasal spray is used to treat inflammatory conditions of the nasal passages.
  • Allergic rhinitis: alleviates nasal congestion, sneezing, itching and rhinorrhea.
  • Nasal polyps: reduces polyp size and improves nasal airflow.
  • Seasonal allergic rhinitis: controls symptoms during pollen exposure periods.

How It Works

  • Mometasone furoate binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors in nasal mucosal cells, forming a complex that translocates to the nucleus and modulates gene transcription. This suppresses production of pro‑inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules, decreasing vascular permeability and edema. The high topical potency and minimal systemic absorption further limit systemic effects.

Side Effects

Intranasal mometasone furoate may cause local and systemic adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Nasal irritation or burning sensation
  • Headache
  • Epistaxis (nosebleed)
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Altered taste perception

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Adrenal suppression
  • Glaucoma or cataract development
  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
  • Fungal sinusitis
  • Nasal septal perforation
  • Systemic immunosuppression leading to infection

Precautions & Warnings

  • When prescribing Nasonex Aquosum, clinicians should consider several precautionary measures.
  • Assess for active infections: avoid use in untreated bacterial, fungal or viral nasal infections.
  • Monitor for ocular effects: prolonged use may increase risk of glaucoma or cataract.
  • Evaluate systemic corticosteroid exposure: limit concurrent systemic steroids to reduce adrenal suppression risk.
  • Use the lowest effective dose: aim to control symptoms with minimal exposure.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and heat.

Avoid Interactions

Mometasone furoate can interact with other medicines, altering its safety or efficacy.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Systemic corticosteroids: may increase risk of adrenal suppression.
  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): may raise local exposure.
  • Live vaccines: intranasal steroids may reduce immune response.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antihistamines: may increase local irritation.
  • Nasal decongestant sprays: concurrent use can increase nasal mucosa dryness.
  • Antifungal nasal agents: may affect local flora.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nasonex Aquosum is a nasal spray containing mometasone furoate that is prescribed to treat inflammatory nasal conditions such as allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps. It helps relieve symptoms like congestion, sneezing, itching and improves nasal airflow.

Mometasone furoate binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the cells lining the nasal passages. This binding alters gene transcription, leading to reduced production of inflammatory cytokines and mediators, decreased vascular permeability, and ultimately less swelling and irritation in the nasal mucosa.

The appropriate dose of Nasonex Aquosum is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition severity and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product’s labeling for proper use.

Safety data for mometasone furoate in pregnancy and lactation are limited. The medication should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk to the fetus or infant. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss use with their physician.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request verification of trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Nasonex Aquosum contains mometasone furoate, a high‑potency glucocorticoid with low systemic absorption, offering effective symptom control with a favorable safety profile. Compared with older nasal steroids such as beclomethasone, it often requires once‑daily dosing and may provide greater anti‑inflammatory potency.

Store Nasonex Aquosum at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the container from moisture and direct sunlight. Do not freeze the product. Keep the spray tip clean and avoid contaminating the nozzle.

The spray is intended for intranasal use. The patient should gently blow the nose, insert the tip into one nostril, close the opposite nostril, and spray the prescribed number of puffs while breathing in gently. The process is repeated in the other nostril as directed.

Serious risks include adrenal suppression, especially with prolonged high‑dose use or concomitant systemic steroids, and ocular complications such as glaucoma or cataract formation. Rarely, severe allergic reactions or fungal infections of the sinus may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.

Patients with known hypersensitivity to mometasone furoate or any component of the formulation should avoid the product. It is also contraindicated in individuals with untreated bacterial, fungal or viral infections of the nasal passages, and in those for whom systemic corticosteroid exposure is contraindicated.
