Nasonex nasal spray effectively eliminates itching and swelling and makes breathing easier. Perhaps the only drawback of the drug is the price, which makes patients look for more affordable options. We learned from an expert what analogues of Nasonex are found in pharmacies and how they work

Nasonex contains the hormone mometasone, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.¹. The manufacturer produces the drug in the form of a suspension, which is in a bottle with a dispenser and is intended for spraying in the nasal cavity. The standard vial is designed for 60 or 120 doses, one dose contains 50 micrograms of mometasone. The recommended scheme of application is 1-2 sprays in each nostril 1 time per day.¹.

The active ingredient mometasone copes well with a runny nose and nasal congestion and is not addictive¹. Due to its low concentration and local application, mometasone practically does not enter the bloodstream and does not affect other organs and systems, except for the nose.¹.

Nasonex is used to treat allergic rhinitis, polyposis, acute and chronic sinusitis in adults and children over 2 years of age.

The drug has a minimum of contraindications: hypersensitivity to mometasone or other components, recent injuries and operations in the nasal cavity.

There are age restrictions. Nasonex should not be used:

in children under 2 years of age for the treatment of allergic rhinitis;
in children under 12 years of age for the treatment of sinusitis:
in children and adolescents under 18 years of age – with polyposis.

For women who are expecting a baby or breastfeeding, Nasonex is prescribed only if the benefit of treatment outweighs the possible risk to mother and child. All patients with prolonged use of the drug should periodically visit a doctor to check the condition of the nasal mucosa.

How to choose an analogue of Nasonex

– If Nasonex spray suits the patient, but the price does not suit you, you should pay attention to its full analogues (generics) – says pulmonologist, expert of the Coronavirus-Control project Svetlana Bozhko. – In my opinion, the best analogues of Nasonex are Momat Rino, Ditamal and Momezal Allergo. They are as close as possible to the original. At the same time, they are cheaper than the original drug and will be affordable for most patients.

With insufficient effect from Nasonex, an allergist’s consultation is required, who will select a more effective medicine or a combination of several drugs.
