Expert advice FOR Asonex Nasal Spray

  • The right way to use the nasal spray:
    • Shake the bottle before using the medicine. 
    • Clean your nose thoroughly before using the medicine.
    • Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. 
    • Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose.
    • Breathe out gently through your mouth and repeat the same process for the other nostril.
  • Avoid deep breathing as it will cause medication to go back to the throat and make it less effective.
  • Do not share the bottle with anyone else so that you do not spread germs.
  • Inform your doctor if you have an infection, injury, or had recent surgery of the nose as Mometasone can increase the risk of bleeding, fungal infections in the nose and delay wound healing.
  • Any remaining spray must be discarded two months after you first open the bottle.
