Nasometin Control, 50 micrograms/dose, nasal spray, 140 doses

Nasometin Control contains the active substance mometasone furoate, a corticosteroid medicine. Mometasone furoate sprayed into the nose can help relieve inflammation (swelling and irritation of the nasal mucosa).

Nasometin Control is used to treat the symptoms of doctor-diagnosed seasonal allergic rhinitis (also known as hay fever) in adults aged 18 years and over.

Hay fever, which occurs several times a year, is an allergic reaction caused by inhaling pollen from trees, grasses, weeds, molds and fungal spores. Nasometin Control reduces swelling and irritation in the nasal mucosa, thereby relieving sneezing, itching and nasal congestion or runny nose caused by hay fever.

If after 14 days there is no improvement or the patient feels worse, contact your doctor.

The active substance is mometasone furoate. Each spray contains 50 micrograms of mometasone furoate (as mometasone furoate monohydrate). The total weight of the suspension in one spray is 100 mg. 
The other ingredients are: microcrystalline cellulose, carmellose sodium, glycerol, citric acid monohydrate, sodium citrate, polysorbate 80, benzalkonium chloride, water for injections.

Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The recommended dose for adults aged 18 years and over is two sprays into each nostril once daily.

• Once symptoms improve, the dose may be reduced to one spray into each nostril once daily, and if symptoms become more severe, the dose may be increased again to two sprays into each nostril once daily.

Some patients experience improvement with Nasometin Control within 12 hours of their first dose, although the full benefit of treatment may not be seen until after two days of treatment.

If after a maximum of 14 days of using the medicine there is no improvement or it is insufficient, it is necessary to contact a doctor.
Nasometin Control should not be used for longer than 3 months without consulting a doctor.

Nasometin Control should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

• if you are allergic to mometasone furoate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. 
• if you have an untreated infection of the nasal mucosa. Using Nasometin Control during such an infection (e.g. herpes) may make the condition worse. You should wait until the infection has gone before using the nasal spray. 
• if you have recently had surgery on your nose or an injury to your nose. You should not use the nasal spray until any nasal wounds have healed.
