How to use the Nasal Spray- Shake the bottle gently and remove the dust cover. Hold the spray with your forefinger and middle finger on either side of the nozzle and your thumb underneath the bottle.

If using for the first time or if you have not used it for a week or more, press the nasal applicator several times until a fine moist comes out from the container. Gently blow the nose to clear the nostrils. Close one nostril and carefully insert the nasal applicator into the open nostril. Tilt your head forward slightly and keep the spray upright. Breathe in through your nose and while breathing in, press the white-collar of nasal applicator firmly down once to release a spray. Breathe out through your mouth. Repeat the above steps in the same/ other nostril for consecutive doses. Cleaning: The nasal spray should be cleaned at least once a week. The procedures are as follows- Remove the dust cover. Gently pull off the nasal applicator. Wash the applicator and dust cover in warm water. Shake off the excess water and leave to dry in a normal place. Avoid to apply additional heat. Gently push the applicator back on the top of the bottle and re-fix the dust cover.

Interaction

There are no drug interactions of note with Mometasone Furoate.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Mometasone Furoate, like other corticosteroids, should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits justify the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known if Mometasone Furoate is excreted in human milk. Because other corticosteroids are excreted in human milk, caution should be used when Mometasone is administered to nursing women.

Contraindication

Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of this preparation contraindicates its use.

Acute Overdose

There are no data available on the effects of acute or chronic overdosage with Mometasone. Because of low systemic bioavailability, and an absence of acute drugrelated systemic findings in clinical studies, overdose is unlikely to require any therapy other than observation.

Storage Condition

Keep below 30°C temperature, away from light & moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
