Nasonex (mometasone) "I went to the doctor because of a serious flu that affected my breathing because of post nasal drips, extreme coughing and fearsome blockage of my throat while coughing. Among two other medicines including general cough medicine, he prescribed Nasonex. This has helped tremendously. It has cleared my nasal passages and it has allowed me to breath properly. It has stopped my heavy snoring which was caused by having to breath through my mouth. I do not know whether I am imagining it, but for years I have had erectile disfunction, so much so that I have given up trying anything to cure it and just accept my condition. However, lately I am getting reasonable erections at night and I wounder if it is some beneficial side effect of Nasonex."

Nasonex (mometasone) "I have been taking Nasonex for 8 years for seasonal allergies to various tree pollens. I get the horribly itchy eyes/nose/palate and runny nose. If I start taking Nasonex a few weeks prior to spring pollen season, it really helps and reduces about 90% of my symptoms. This way, I can still function for the month or two of pollen season. I would recommend this to people with Birch tree allergies."

Nasonex (mometasone) "Nasonex changed my life!! I have severe hay fever symptoms but using Nasonex every night before going to sleep relieved all symptoms. I have been using it for 8 years and I can genuinely say that it changed my life."

Nasonex (mometasone) "This is the best product I've ever used for allergies. For a long time, I've suffered terribly with hay fever, which antihistimines controlled but it was the constant itchy face, nose and neck that made life miserable for me and I couldn't find anything to control it. I had tried other nasal sprays but to no avail. A friend recommended Nasonex and I tried it reluctantly. After 1 week of taking it (one spray in each nostril every morning) I am delighted. No more itchiness, sneezing, water eyes and no more misery!! I'm very happy and grateful and I've suffered no side effects so far."

Nasonex (mometasone) "Absolutely a wonder drug. For me, this changed my life after years of miserable, miserable allergy seasons. I have almost ZERO allergy symptoms in the spring while taking this the last 3 years. Unclear if there are side effects, will pay more attention when I stop this year. Anyway, they are minor enough to justify this drug that totally changed my spring from hell to something quite better."

Nasonex (mometasone) "After having quite a lot of tests on allergies done, and still unable to find out what the problem of my running nose was, using Nasonex helped to relieve the most unpleasant affects of my condition. I have not experienced any side-effects. What I enjoy the most is that this spray doesn't destroy or acidize my nose."

"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) "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."

"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) "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) "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) "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."

"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."

"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) "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."

"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! "

"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."

"I was prescribed this by my GP when diagnosed with allergic rhinitis which I had been suffering from for a long time and nothing I used was working. Once I started it for the first few days I had a bit of blurred vision for an hour or so but after that no side affects and my allergies started to be under control. I use this alongside antihistamines and finally my allergies are starting to be controlled so I would recommend to anyone who is struggling"

"I have used Nasonex Allergy nasel spray (Mometasone) quite a few times for very brief periods. This product does work instantly for my Allergic Rhinitis, which can be a relief when you have a constantly running nose every day. Unfortunately all the times I have used Nasonex it has resulted in me experiencing instant and severe depression, which I normally suffer from, so I stop taking Nasonex and then I am happy (but with a runny nose). How come depression or sadness are never mentioned as possible side effects on any health sites?? I thought it was only me until I read some reviews on this page."

"Using mometasone nasal spray, and now both sides of my nose feel closed up so I can't get air in unless I pull it open. Wasn't like this before. Also stings nose and throat. Not going to continue using."

"Seemed to help with the pain and aches from sinus and ears. But.. I developed a regular very noisy wheeze inhaling (lower right lung area on deep breaths) which was audible to people sitting next to me over the couple of days taking the spray. Enough to concern me and research whether the spray had caused it. It can be a rare side effect. Going to GP to discuss."

"Tried this medication for my post nasal drip, however even though it relieved my symptoms of post nasal drip it gave me a really bad cold, chills ,headache and caused me to feel lethargic. I will not use this product again and will try and find another product that will treat my postnasal drip without any of these side effects."

Nasonex (mometasone) "It is a nightmare!!! Our pedia prescribed nasonex for my 1 yr 10 mos baby because he is having a difficulty of breathing at night. When he start using nasonex everything went wrong my baby nose has a very loud sound when he is inhaling and difficulty of breathing which is getting much worst. I am worried it could be life threatening because he cannot breath. We don't have normal sleep anymore. When I stopped giving nasonex the bad side effect is lessen although he still have trouble of breathing. I pray to God that everything will get normal soon."

"Had been suffering from allergic rhinitis for years. I suffer from perennial rhinitis, always having a blocked nose, itchy eyes, and nose. And sometimes a runny nose too. This nasal spray has helped a lot, at least in opening one nostril, and I advise everyone to try nasal irrigation. Take care."
