For Allergic Rhinitis "I kid you not. Reading these reviews has made me realise I wasn’t going crazy and it will take a serious amount of sleep to catch up! 6 months pregnant. Rhinitis. Get it every time. I use Xylometazoline but it’s not good long term so trying to limit my use. Doctor said to try Nasonex so prescribed me this so I could wean off the Xylometazoline. Within 3 hours of taking it, I did initially feel better although my nose wasn’t completely unblocked. Until I went to bed. As I am writing this, it is 4:45am, I haven’t been to sleep. I’ve had night sweats, heart palpitations, anxiety and a crying session. I didn’t know what was wrong with me until I read the reviews after I thought it could well be. I am shocked I am not alone! I cannot fathom how any doctor can prescribe something so toxic especially to a pregnant woman."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I've been using nasonex off and on for quite a few years especially in the winter time as I have a constant runny nose and frequent sinus infections. I recently realized that I have frequent headaches and migraines mostly in the winter time also. This medication was a godsend for me in the beginning but it's not anymore. After long-term use it seems like my sinuses are burning all the time and my nose is still running whether I use it or not. I often have heart palpitations and have even had heart tests for that. I have decided to go off this medication for a long period of time to see if any of the symptoms I've described are caused by the nasonex."

For Sinus Symptoms "I've been using this mometasone nasal spray for a while and it worked really well for my allergy symptoms. Since I started the spray, I've been getting unusual migraines constantly, which I RARELY get. It was only today that I finally connected the dots and found that the spray is the reason I've been getting these migraines. It works super well for my allergies but I don't think I can continue because of this side effect!"

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "I use nasonex for sinus/nasal swelling that causes headaches or fluid build up in my ears. It had always been more effective than antihistamines or anti inflammatory meds. I have issues with dry mouth and I think nasonex aggravates it, but I had to quit nasonex completely once I got dental implants. I got 4 dental implants, and nasonex causes the gum tissue around them to become so sensitive that I get queasy when my check touches rubs against my gums. It takes a long time to get better and my allergist and dentist are perplexed. There is no redness, or sores, in fact the gums look 100% normal, but the sensitivity is extremely uncomfortable and can last for weeks. It is awful that I have to choose which issue I have to live with. One doctor did say they saw a very very faint white lace pattern on the gums where it hurt, but everyone else said they saw no sign of something being physically wrong."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Always suffered with sinus problems, but about six months ago I started to do a sinus rinse about three times a week. And one side of my sinus cleared. But the other side still felt blocked , went to the doctor they prescribed Mometasone nasal spray. After three days of using my sinuses felt really dry. Was getting headaches felt dizzy I came of it. I will persevere with my sinus wash"

Nasonex (mometasone) for Nasal Polyps "Pump action spray is terrible I prime it have a couple of sprays ,and then it comes out in drips . So I repeat the priming again Until I get a spray , meanwhile I’m pumping half of my medication into the air . I use this product on and off for years as needed. It is excellent , but please fix the bottle . Other products I use , such as Fess spray works excellent So why not yours For the price I don’t want to waste it"

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I had a cold with a stuffy nose so I don't know why my Doctor prescribed this for me. I wish I could give this product a zero. It did absolutely nothing for me except give me severe nosebleeds. I would love to contact the company to complain but I can't find their contact information anywhere. Worst 50 bucks I ever spent."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I was on Nasonex for 5 months, and it was very helpful in relieving my sinus issues and my ETD, which were caused by allergies. However, the side effects are hard to deal with, so eventually I decided to switch to using antihistamines rather than steroid sprays."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I've been using it for a while and it didn't work well for me. I changed to another spray and it got much better. Also had the problem where the mist did not actually reach where it was supposed to go but rather just drooled out."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have been using Mometasone Furoate 50g Nasal spray from the last 4 months and its a miracle for my rhinitis allergy. I got a runny nose, sneezing, headache all year round from the last 15 years and been using a lot of medicines like Rigix, Loratadine, Avamys spray but nothing worked. I started researching about this allergy, find out this spray and talk to my doctor about it. This is the only spray that has worked, I feel so relieved and no symptoms so far."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "I have severe s-shaped septum and chronic sinus issues. I found that this drug worked, I started to get my sense of smell back, pressure started to subside, but it caused horrible side effects. I felt tight, like I couldn't breathe properly, very anxious all the time, aching muscles, weakness. I also developed strange unexpected pains in chest."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "The product works well. The problem is the packaging. Why don't manufacturers stop using so much unnecessary packaging for their products when disposal is such a growing problem. Nasonex Allergy comes in a lovely plastic container that does not require a huge cardboard box, more than twice the size of the container. There is now a large space just for directions. Its about time these manufacturers started getting a little innovative with their packaging and reduced the need for unwanted excessive packaging that continues to produce problems for landfill."

For Sinus Symptoms "I have used mometasone for almost 10 years for nasal polyps, chronic sinus infections, and seasonal allergies. The only treatment that has worked consistently. Possible (?) long term use side effects that I have experienced are cataracts, double vision, and suppressed white blood cell and platelet counts. Small price to pay for being able to breathe...!"

For Sinus Symptoms "Was prescribed after having ear problems and was told to take this as my nurse practitioner saw fluid in a tube behind my ear drum, and boy... I've never had these side effects before... and it's a nasal spray!! Have been taking it for over 2 weeks and my "full head" feeling has improved, so it seems, and not as unsteady/dizzy as before but the last 2-3 days my anxiety has been horrible!! I used to take meds for it and have been fine without for a while but all of a sudden, I get these horrible anxious feelings, on edge, even had the heart palpitations but thought it was muscle spasms but I wonder... The anxiety with this med was worse than I ever had it prior to anxiety meds!! I've also had headaches but was told of this side effect but the anxiety and not being able to "feel like you can do anything as you can't take more stress" isn't worth all these extra things! I also had the eye pressure/spasms! Thank you for this site & people posting! It's not just me and I don't feel alone!!"

For Sinus Symptoms "I used this product as I've been having intense nose pain and the spray as done absolutely nothing. Thankfully I haven't had any side effects but I still have unbearable nose pain. I found the spray ineffective and a waste of time."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Took 1 dose in the evening to alleviate allergy symptoms. The next morning my throat was hurting more and my nose was plugged. Throughout the day my body started hurting & I could feel my throat starting to close up. My tongue & uvula were swollen, my body was in immense pain, my hands were very red & I was extremely lightheaded. I waited for an hour at the doctors before almost going into anaphylactic shock. I got an injection, went home, & proceeded to take another dose of the nasal spray. That’s when it struck me that it’s the nasal spray that gave me this reaction. Immediately the body pains & lightheadedness were back, this time accompanied by a very intense headache, fever & chills. I took some antihistamines & went to bed, this feeling didn’t go away until I went back to the doctor the next day for another allergy shot. I’m now on a hefty dose of antihistamines, & I noticed the lining of my nose is swollen & slightly yellow. I hope I recover from this soon."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "Nasonex was prescribed because I can't breathe easily through my nose. It is hard to sleep at night and breathing through my mouth is very troublesome. I would wake several times at night with dry mouth, throat and in the morning, have a raspy voice. Dr thought I might have allergies and thought the Nasonex might open up nasal passages."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I was using the nasal spray (Aqueous) for my Rhinitis but it never really went away and I had 1 blocked nostril for about a year. The doctor prescribed mometasone furoate. I used it once (2 sprays) my symptoms have gone! Completely gone! "

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "I have been using Nasonex for years with no problems or side effects, I suffer from bad allergies and sinus infections and with the help of Sudafed or sinutab and Nasonex along with some Allegra, I am good to go. Whenever I feel any discomfort during allergy season, these products help and I don't see any side effects."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Had family history of constant issues with hypersensitivity of nose that stretches over three generations. This hero - mometasone nasal spray- is only fix that is available and I give it a nice 9.9 (I took of 0.1 due to the dodgy bottle)"

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "First of all, it didn't really help me, I still suffered as much after I used it a few times for a sinusitis that was about to start. Second, it caused a huge cold sore to burst on my lip. I only had a cold sore once before (the first time I was infected) so I don't have have much doubt that Nasonex is what caused it."

For Sinus Symptoms "Went through Covid, loss sense of smell and taste, as well as additional acute sinustitis infection. The smell and taste came back much later but was not stable, was reduced to very faint smell next day or to nothing, rollercoaster. The infection reduced the smell further. I was prescibed Mometasone Furoate nasal spray and for the first day or 2, it relieved the pressure but there were also other side effects. I faced the below symptoms: Anxiety Depression Heart palpitations Affected sleep, was not able to sleep at all Blurry vision Oral thrush Tight throat like you can't breath I've been asked by doctor to use it every day (2 sprays each nostril) but for today, i'm going to stop and see what happens. I feel less on edge not using it. I advise for everyone to be careful in using this medication."

For Sinus Symptoms "I was prescribed Mometasone for chronic sinusitis. I used it on and off for a few months but felt it was making my headaches worse and causing anxiety. Didn’t seem to ease the original problem . Original sinus headaches were less severe than headaches after taking medication. Encouraged to continue by GP and that my headaches would improve. Instead the anxiety increased with heart palpitations. Burning feeling in throat and tightness. The worst side effect has been recent insomnia. Awake almost all night. Mind anxious. Feeling need to wee throughout the night. After several nights of this I have stopped taking it. Will not take it again. Thanks to others for sharing their experience as I thought I was becoming mentally unwell. Why aren’t gp’s aware of this?"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I'm sorry that many of you had negative experiences with Mometasone spray, I took it for my nasal allergies which were causing problems breathing through my nose and it cleared those up quickly. Also helped me gain weight when I was borderline underweight. Would highly recommend."

For Sinus Symptoms "My doctor prescribed this product to help post nasal drip which was affecting my ears. After the first couple of days of using this product I felt dizziness, really bad anxiety and flu like symptoms. I was so tired I could barely climb up the stairs. Also felt like it brought on symptoms similar to a bladder infection. I saw a doc to test for a bladder infection and she said it’s a possible side effect of this medication. I’ve been off this product for a week now and the anxiety, racing heart and dizziness is better but still lingering"
