prevents the release of substances in the body
that cause inflammation.

nasally to prevent and treat the nasal symptoms of
allergies and other seasonal reactions.

How to use the medicine:
Shake
Nasonex well before each use. Prime the spray pump as
instructed by your pharmacist. Use the medication as directed,
generally two sprays in each nostril daily. Do not use
Nasonex more often or longer than prescribed. Use
Nasonex regularly during the prescribed treatment period
for full benefit. If Nasonex is used for seasonal
allergy, therapy is best started 2-4 weeks
before the allergy season. Improvement in symptoms
occurs generally within 2 days and full benefit occurs
after 1-2 weeks of use.
• Use Nasonex nasal spray exactly
as directed by your doctor. Read the information insert
included with your medication. If you do not understand
these instructions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or
doctor to explain them to you.
• Shake the medication
well before each dose.
• If your nose is congested, try
to clear it before using your medication to be sure that
the medicine gets into your nasal passages. If you are
also using a decongestant spray, use it to open up your
nasal passages before using Nasonex. However, do
not use a decongestant spray unless your doctor
approves.
• Remove the plastic dust
cap from the nasal applicator. Prior to initial
use of the spray, the pump must be primed by
spraying ten times or until a fine spray
appears. The pump may be stored unused for up to 1 week
without repriming. If unused for more than one week,
reprime by pumping two times, or until a fine spray
appears.
• Close one nostril and
tilt your head slightly forward. Insert the tip of the
nasal applicator about 1 cm (one-half inch) into your
nostril, pointing it straight up into the nasal canal.
Press firmly downward once on the shoulders of the
applicator, using your forefinger and middle finger
while supporting the base of the bottle with your thumb.
Breathe gently inward through the nostril as you pump.
Then breathe out through the mouth. Repeat this process
for the number of sprays prescribed by your doctor.
Remove the pump from your nose. Repeat this procedure in
the other nostril then replace the dust cap.
• Do not use the medication more
than prescribed for you. Never use more than 2 sprays in each nostril (200 mcg total) per day. It may
take a few weeks to see the effects.
Talk to your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or
if they get worse.
• Do not spray Nasonex into the eyes.
• To clean the applicator,
remove the plastic dust cap and pull gently on the nasal
applicator so that it comes free. Wash the applicator
and dust cap with cold water. Dry and replace the
applicator and dust cap.
• Store the medication at room temperature away
from moisture and heat.

oral products. If exposed, consult your doctor or
pharmacist. Though very unlikely, it is possible Nasonex
will be absorbed into your bloodstream. This may have
undesirable consequences that may require additional
corticosteroid treatment. This is especially true for
children and for those who have used Nasonex for an
extended period if they also have serious medical
problems such as serious infections, injuries or
surgeries. This precaution applies for up to one year
after stopping use of Nasonex. Consult your doctor or
pharmacist for more details. Caution is advised in
children as Nasonex may affect growth patterns. Consult
child's doctor. Nasonex should be used only when clearly
needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits
with your doctor. It is not known whether Nasonex is
excreted into breast milk. Consult your doctor before
breast-feeding.
