Nazonex – GCS for intranasal use. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. The local anti-inflammatory effect of the drug is manifested when it is used in doses at which systemic effects do not occur.

Treatment of allergic rhinitis (seasonal and year-round) in adults, adolescents and children from 2 years old

Exacerbation of sinusitis (complex therapy with antibiotics) in adults (including senile age) and children from 12 years old

Prevention of seasonal allergic rhinitis of moderate and severe course (recommended 2-4 weeks before the expected start dusting season).

Tuberculous tuberculous infection, active or bacterial, viral systemic infection or infection caused by Herpes simplex with eye damage (as an exception, the appointment of the drug in these cases is possible as directed by a doctor caution)

Children under 2 years old (no application of the safety data).

Pregnancy and lactation

After intranasal administration of the drug at the maximum therapeutic dose, mometasone is not detected in blood plasma even at the minimum concentration, therefore, we can expect that its effect on the fetus will be negligible, and potential reproductive toxicity is very low.

However, since no special, well-controlled studies of the effect of the drug in pregnant women have been conducted, Nazonex should be prescribed to pregnant women, mothers, breast-feeding women or women of childbearing age only if the expected benefits of its administration justify the potential risk to the fetus and newborn.

Newborns whose mothers used GCS during pregnancy should be carefully examined to identify possible adrenal hypofunction.

Dosage and Administration

Intranasal. Nasonex is used as an intranasal inhalation suspension contained in a spray bottle. Inhalations are carried out using a special metering nozzle on the bottle. Before the first use of the Nazonex nasal spray, it is necessary to œcalibrate it by pressing the metering device 6 “7 times. After the œcalibration , a stereotypical delivery of the drug substance is established, in which with each press of a button, approximately 100 mg of mometasone furoate suspension containing mometasone furoate monohydrate in an amount equivalent to 50 μg of chemically pure mometasone furoate is released. If the nasal spray has not been used for 14 days or longer, a re-calibration is necessary before new use. Before each use, shake the spray bottle vigorously.

Treatment of seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis in adults (including senile age) and adolescents from 12 years of age. The usual recommended prophylactic and therapeutic dose of the drug is 2 inhalations (50 micrograms each) in each nostril, once (total daily dose 200 micrograms) . After achieving the desired therapeutic effect for maintenance therapy, it is advisable to reduce the dose to 1 inhalation in each nostril 1 time per day (total daily dose of 100 μg).

If the symptoms of the disease could not be reduced by using the drug at the recommended therapeutic dose, the daily dose can be increased to 4 inhalations per nostril once a day (total daily dose 400 mcg). After reducing the symptoms of the disease, a dose reduction is recommended. The onset of the drug is usually observed clinically during the first 12 hours after the first use of the drug.
