| 3 | i can not breathe through my nose | not being able to sleep, and coughing over nothing. I am tired all the time | i wish i could get off of it but i can't breathe without it | F | 53 | 20 years 15 2X day | 5/12/2011 | 3 | Ent | Get dry blood in nose feeling stuffy and now I'm getting panic attacks. | Been on this 16 years from ENT at hospital sure I'm getting side effects which is stated above need help advice from anyone xx | F | 42 | 16 years 2X day | 10/16/2020 | 3 | Sinuses | Head ache bit ear pain dry nose feel awful been taking it 15 year now I'm getting all these side effects | Told doctor about side effect don't think he believes it is the spray | F | 42 | 15 years 1X day | 2/2/2021 | 5 | hayfever | no side effects | After suffering for years with extremely bad hayfever, i started to take nasonex along with clarityn, and I have been getting better every year, i now hardly suffer at all from hayfever, and when i do feel that 'itch' in my eyes, i use the nasonex spray and it goes away within 20mins | M | 18 | 11 years | 7/7/2007 | 5 | severe allergies | this drug really did change my life. before i had to pretty much avoid the outdoors in the spring and fall. and would get allergy attacks at night that would keep me up for hours -- absolutely miserable. and i would usually end up with a bronchial infection about once/yr. IMPORTANT: INITIALLY, YOU MUST TAKE THIS DAILY AS PRESCRIBED FOR AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE YOU WILL GET RELIEF. But in subsequent seasons I can take it when i start to feel symptomatic and i usually start getting relief the next day. I take it daily in the heart of allergy season, then back way off in the winter and summer. | M | 45 | 10 years 1X day | 6/24/2010 | 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 | 5 | Lifelong allergy to cats | None, in spite of using Nasonex every day for about as long as it has been in existence (10 years? 15?). I have occasional nosebleeds - and by "occasional" I mean maybe 5 a year, so they may not even be related to Nasonex usage. | It's a Godsend. We can have cats thanks to Nasonex; without that, I'd be asthmatic and allergic. | M | 53 | 10 years | 12/6/2008 | 3 | nasal congestion and polyps | sore left shoulder, constant urge to pee, lonely, never satisfied, high pressure in eyes | tries to wean off but failed, nose totally filled with blisters, polyps, am now waiting for surgery as side effects are not worth the congestion relief | F | 54 | 10 years | 7/13/2008 | 3 | Chronic Sinus Congestion | Some dryness in the nose (can increase chance of bloody nose) | Gives a mild improvement to nasal congestion. Nothing to get really excited about. If you have really bad congestion like I do, it is very helpful, though. Has a nice flowery smell, with no aftertaste, unlike some similar meds. | M | 44 | 10 years 2X day | 2/10/2011 | 3 | allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps | Dry nose, dry red eyes, loss of sense of smell, impotence. Have been using Nasonex for 10 years. It took me a long time and much self experimentation over a period of several years of on-off use to finally positively identify a direct relaionship between Nasonex use and loss of sex drive and sexual potency. Beware of long-term use. Seems reversible over a period of several months of non-use, however. | Nasonex (and surgery to remove nasal polyps) was a godsend initially. I went from 4-6 colds leading to bronchitis per year, to maximum 1 cold per year. I miss sense of smell however. I now use only sporadically, for short periods of maximum three days. | M | 53 | 10 years | 1/6/2006 | 1 | Rhinitis | Used for several years with no problem. During the past 2 years however I have been developing viral infections in my nose that are very painful. Wasn't sure at first they were caused by Nasonex, but am now. I would stop using it and the infections would eventually go away, but when I started using it again they would return almost immediately. | Highly effective in controling my rhinitis symptoms. | M | 47 | 10 years | 11/28/2006 | 1 | NASAL CONGESTION | SORE LEFT SHOULDER, CONSTANT URGE TO PEE, LONELY AND UNSATISFIED, MULTIPLE NOSE POLYPS | TOOK 1 YEAR AND AN OPERATION TO GET RID OF SIDE EFFECTS | F | 55 | 10 years | 1/2/2009 | 1 | seasonal allergies | heart palpitations, full blown anxiety disorder, nasal sores that wouldn't heal, weight gain (35 lbs over time), THINNING OF BONES to the point of osteopenia, GLAUCOMA | I used to be a size 8/10 before being prescribed this junk. It worked for my allergies, but it caused 10 years of nonsense. Who knew? Drs would tell me it didn't cause any side effects because it" wasn't absorbed into the blood stream." Seasonally I would outgrow all my clothes and feel like a cow, and after stopping Nasonex Iwould start to slim down again. Then another allergy flare-up would occur and I would start the Nasonex again, and this yo-yoing has been going on for 10 years now. I trusted drs too much. One day it finally occurred to me that this stuff happened seasonally. Sorry, just slow to realize it. Don't use this stuff!!!! It has taken a month to drop a dress size, and will probably take a few more months to drop the rest of the weight and bloat. Nose sores are healing, and bloody nose is going away. I'm using Nasalcrom, with great results. Dr's didn't know why my bones were thinning and why I should be developing glaucoma at my age. One day it all hit me like a ton of bricks. Shortly after starting this med, I had full blown anxiety syndrome for which I had to seek treatment. Never made the connection until very recently. Keep having thinning of the bones reports. Never made the connection until now. Eye spasms in one eye. Since stopping Nasonex, I was really tired at first and had alot of joint pain. Now that is going away, and I am taking Rx grade vitamins and Glucosamine/Chondroitin. Feeling and looking better. I'm sad for all the lost years to th | F | 55 | 10 years 2x/ea side 2X day | 5/13/2014 | 5 | My son has allergies | None | M | 11 | 9 years 30MG | 12/16/2011 | 5 | Chronic non-allergic rhinitis | Dry nose, some crusting, some bleeding. | Originally I consulted an ENT for polyps causing sinusitis, which this medication dealt with without surgery. Later I developed chronic non-allergic rhinitis (aka chronic nasal neuropathy) and I take it to control symptoms of blocked nose. I try to take as little as needed, so sometimes none for three or four weeks (esp in summer when I am swimming in the sea), but most other times 1-2 sprays per day. I sometimes have to stop for a few weeks if the crusting and bleeding gets bad but I could not manage without this or some similar medication-- my nose would be permanently and completely blocked. | M | 65 | 8 years 2 sprays 1X day | 4/4/2018 | 1 | runny nose -allergy | Insomnia, nervousness, anger, gained weight, general uneasyness | I never thought Nasonex could be to blame for my problems. Now it all makes sense. The sleeping problems have been terrible. The persons responsible for this drug should be wacked around the head with a marble statue. I am never taking this again. | M | 48 | 8 years 2 sprays 2X day | 4/27/2011 | 4 | Nasal Polyps | Heart Palpitation, Flutter, Anxiety, Nose dryness (always bleeding when blowing my nose), lost good part of sense of smell, difficulty sleeping....and the list goes on. | I cannot say for sure if my symptoms are related to Nasonex or not. I consulted with my Cardio, Electro Physiologist, Family Doctor along with my ENT. All are in agreement that Nasonex has nothing to do with my palpitations. Hmmmmm…after reading this site, I cannot help but wandering if…you know...can they all be wrong? Therefore, I will be stopping this medicine for a month and replace it with a saline solution for the dryness. I have lived for years in the past with out Nasonex so it won’t be difficult to stop it. I went through an Ablation procedure for the Flutter (no fun in case anyone is wondering) and I am still on strong Beta Blocker treatments on a daily basis...for THE REST OF MY LIFE. Because I have been left so long with a heart flutter (untreated) masked with the highest possible dose of Beta Blocker (240 mg twice a day) for 3 years. I have developed Fibrillation which is an inevitable sequel of Tachycardia (Flutter) which is why I still have to take those Beta Blockers (Sotalol). If stopping Nasonex do in deed settle my arrhythmias, ….there is going to be some pay back from somebody somewhere. 8( Time will tell …I will keep you posted…more to follow. | M | 49 | 7 years 2 spays 1X day | 2/6/2012 | 3 | Acute sinus problems | Most all the symptoms described on the previous pages. I have been feeling unwell off and on for the last two years. | I had not considered that the spray was the cause of my problems as I take other medication and put it down to a combination of these. However the last three months have been hell and I have visited the Dr on three occasion giving a large number of the symptoms already mentioned. I thought the depression and suicidal thoughts would have made them jump to action but they just gave me a course of anti histamine, then more and very strong Steroid drops and anti biotics then another ultra strong steroid spray. All made me feel even more ill. Thankfully I found this site yesterday and am now trying to get through the cold turkey effect of coming off this drug from hell. I have been a long term user around 7 years I reckon. Still having some problems but it is only day two off the spray. Feeling more human already. Don't take it, I have been through hell in the last two years and I was convinced at times I was going insane. | M | 64 | 7 years | 1/14/2010 | 5 | Allergic sinusitis | Nose-bleeds, pimples on/near nose, hoarseness | I'm supposed to take this twice a day everyday during allergy season, but it gives me a migraine on the second day of use, so I only use it periodically--once or twice every couple months when my allergies are bad. The day after using it(either one or two sprays in the am), I consistently get a pimple on my nose, face or eye-area, without fail. I have swollen nasal passages all year long due to allergies and a deviated septum but this helps keep me breathing and opens everything up. But its only good for limited use. If I use it more than one or two days, I get severe migraines and usually by the second day, will sound very hoarse. It does open swollen sinuses, so you will drip/blow your nose frequently to clear things out. This is the best thing I've found but US doctors no longer prescribe it and it's a Tier3(are you kidding me???!) so I just buy it from the UK out of pocket. One bottle lasts 1.5 years or longer depending on use. The OTC versions/knockoffs do NOT work for persistent sinusitis and have way worse side effects. Def recommend this, only in moderation. | F | 45 | 6 years 50mcg 2X day | 6/18/2021 | 5 | seasonal allergies | none other than possible nightime leg cramping - may or not be related | generally a great product. effectiveness varies with degree of allergens in the air - what part of the country I am in and where in the bloom cycle it is. far better than suffering from seasonal allergies | M | 45 | 6 years | 6/21/2007 |
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)
