1 | Possible sinus problem,nasal drip. | Severe nosebleed. Doctor's comment was"It does that somtimes." Have deviated septum now with permanent scab,some nasal blockage on one side. | Doctor knew I had deviated septum, didn't caution about contact. | M | 84 | 1 weeks 1X day | 8/20/2012 | 1 | sinus pain, drip, persistent stuffe | Second day nosebleed that would not stop. After six hours, had bleeding area cauterized. What a shame! $65.00 for three shots. | There shoulld be physician samples before such a waste of money. | M | 83 | 2 days | 2/11/2007 | 1 | Eustacion tube clogged | It is by far the worst medication I have ever had prescribed! It totally destroyed my smell and taste, which have not recovered after two months of misery. | I think it is a dangerous medication and should be taken off of the market. Steroids are too powerful to be used in this manner. I think this medication is too dangerous to be prescribed for any patient. I would not recommend this medication for any reason as there must be better treatments for nasal allergies that aren't this dangerous. | M | 81 | 3 days | 4/11/2009 | 2 | persistent cough - no allergies | Coughing - | Nasinex was prescribed for a cough which continued over 2 weeks after a cold. I have no allergies. I continued to cough. After reading the comments on this site, I stopped using it. I think it is a dangerous drug that no one should take. | M | 78 | 7 days 50mcg 2X day | 5/24/2014 | 1 | Allergies | First night after used Nasonex, had headache in middle of night and took an aspirin, Second night after used Nasonex had headache in middle of night and took an aspirin. Next day had a moderate stroke. | Heart specialist said Nasonex ABSOLUTELY did not cause stroke, family doctor said Nasonex probably did not cause stroke. I HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION. This happened 4 years ago when I was 73. | M | 77 | 2 days Not sure 1X day | 2/22/2011 | 5 | horrible Oak Tree pollen allergies | NONE except feel 100% better! A true life saver.... | F | 75 | 7 days | 4/12/2009 | 1 | sinus and allergy | terrible anxiety and rise in blood pressure | I asked for this to try instead of flonase which gave me occasional nose bleeds and just has a bad taste. In 3 days I was on here checking to see if anyone else was having shakes and anxiety as I just had a feeling it was the nasonex. I didnt take any today and already feel a little better. I had only had 3X1 doses so Im hoping I will be back to norm. in a few days..and back to my flonase which never gave me any angst. Felt like a cat with its tail under a rocking chair. | F | 72 | 3 days | 12/29/2008 | 1 | sinus problem | so tired, too tired to cry, just lay on the couch most of time | F | 72 | 10 days 2 sprays 1X day | 8/12/2015 | 1 | sinus problems | Stomach feels like a huge rock in it; nausea; pressure in head; headache; dizziness; depression; sore throat; heightened sense of smell; blurry vision; no energy; losing weight; bleeding gums. My greatest fear is that these symptoms will not go away. I took it for 5 days and stopped yesterday. Can anyone tell me if these symptoms go away and how long does it take? | After 10 days of these side effects I started to get better and many of them went away. However I still have ringing in my ears and bad leg and feet pain. | F | 72 | 5 days 2 sprays 2X day | 1/28/2016 | 5 | hay fever, sneezing and runny nose | Minimal | I started using a similar nasal spray called baconase about 34 years ago, and my doc switched me to nasonex later. They both worked great. I tried stopping a few times, but runny nose returned everyone. Now I know I am stuck with this for the rest of my life | M | 71 | 10 years | 10/31/2015 | 2 | allergies, congestion, sinus infect | For the first six months, this was a miracle drug for me. Now, after a year, I am having sinus pain and pressure, post-nasal drip, daily headaches, rise in blood pressure, plus an odd prickling of the scalp. I have tapered off to total non-use, but the symptoms have not gone away. | My doc said that it was okay to take this year around, but perhaps I should have been warned to watch for side effects if using long-term. | F | 71 | 14 months | 8/29/2005 | 1 | sinus pressure | Ten days into using Nasonex my mouth, tongue & lips started to tingle, go numb & then begin to burn, all within 30 min. of spraying. Over the next 2 hours the burning progressed to all mucous membranes i.e., eyes, sinuses, mouth, eosophagus, stomach, bladder, urethra & burning on urination. All followed by full body itching, head to foot, shaky hands and anxiety. An already present cataract became a lot worse. Mentally, I felt detached and wanted to sleep all day. | I have a history of sinus pressure on the inner ear causing vertigo, particularly when flying. Nasonex was used for about 10 days when symptoms appeared. I am highly sensitive to various drugs so when symptoms appeared, I immediately suspected Nazonex. Stopped using it and, except for the cataract, all symptoms resolved in about 48 hours. | F | 70 | 10 days n/a 2X day | 4/7/2013 | 1 | Nasal congestion | It turned me into a grumpy mean old man.It chaged my personality from a quite easy going person to one who would get very nasty if someone said something I did not like. | This is the 2nd time I have tried Nasonex.I will never use it again.My wife agrees with me that this stuff is not good for your mental health. | M | 70 | 6 months | 5/9/2007 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | not sure | M | 69 | 12 months | 10/6/2008 | 3 | recurring nasal congestion | I have been using nasonex for about 6 months, with minimal success. Recently had severe dizziness from viral infection of ear/throat tubes (per doctor)that caused pressure in inner ear. I noticed viral infection as a listed side effect. I've stopped using nasonex. | I'm not positive that nasonex caused the dizziness, but it was bad enough I don't want to take the chance. | M | 69 | 180 days | 12/19/2004 | 3 | Sinus + mucus overproduction | It seems that it roughly coincided with when I began that I have difficulty swallowing food. It hurts. It feels like I have an air lock in my upper throat. I looked for comments on this drug and am interested to see the number for anxiety or depression since after I started Nasonex I feel like crying a lot of the time - something I'm not at all prone to do. Another - possible - thing is that one week after starting Nasonex I got a bad sinus infection - something I've managed to avoid for several years now | I was prescribed the Nasonex because of nasal drip to see if it was connected with night 'chokings' - a feeling of total constriction in the throat when asleep and then sudden panic waking. Nasonex has helped this since I haven't had a night choking since taking it. | F | 69 | 2 months 200 1X day | 4/27/2015 | 1 | Sinus problems nose polyps | Shortness of breath aches headaches tiredness | Helps clear nose for little while . Dry nose. | F | 69 | 0 days 1 spray 1X day | 11/28/2020 | 5 | Allergies | A mild but persistent dry cough. I think this is caused by inhaling the spray so I am trying to avoid that now. | Nasonex has dramatically improved the quality of my life. It has completely cured my allergies with only mild side-effects. | M | 68 | 4 months | 9/7/2009 | 5 | allergy, sinusitis | I have been taking this for years. Have never had a side effect. Sinus problems are gone. | M | 68 | 5 years | 4/29/2009 | 4 | severe allergies | I used Nasonex for 5 years. I have no sense of smell and sense of taste is diminished. My doctor said this is not a side effect. I now used it because of severe allergies , I live in Arizona. After 2 days I had severe burning pain in my hips to my toes. | F | 68 | 30 mg 1X day | 4/17/2010 |
NASONEX (MOMETASONE FUROATE MONOHYDRATE): Mometasone is used to prevent and treat seasonal and year-round allergy symptoms (such as stuffy/runny nose, itching, and sneezing). It is also used to treat certain growths in the nose (nasal polyps). Mometasone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works by reducing swelling (inflammation) in the nasal passages. FDA Approval Date: 1997-10-01 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
