Nasometin (Mometasone Furoate)

Mometasone furoate, the active ingredient in Nasometin, is a corticosteroid presented as a nasal spray for nasal use. It treats inflammatory nasal conditions such as allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps in adults and children.

GNH USA supplies Nasometin as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Nasometin, a nasal corticosteroid, is used to manage inflammatory conditions of the nasal passages.

Allergic rhinitis: reduces nasal congestion, sneezing, itching and rhinorrhea. Nasal polyps: decreases polyp size and improves nasal airflow. Non‑allergic rhinitis: alleviates chronic nasal inflammation and related symptoms.

Adverse reactions may occur with nasal administration of mometasone furoate.

Common Side Effects: - Nasal irritation or burning sensation - Headache - Epistaxis (nosebleed) - Altered taste or bitter taste - Throat irritation - Cough

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Nasal septal perforation - Severe or persistent epistaxis - Visual disturbances (e.g., cataracts, glaucoma) - Adrenal suppression with prolonged high‑dose use - Hypersensitivity reactions including angioedema - Opportunistic fungal infection of the nasal mucosa

Before using Nasometin, consider the following safety measures.

Assess for active infection: avoid use in untreated bacterial sinusitis. Monitor for nasal bleeding: advise gentle spray technique. Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to mometasone or other corticosteroids. Use the lowest effective dose: follow prescriber guidance. Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use. Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.

Nasometin may interact with other medicines; review the following categories.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Systemic corticosteroids: may increase overall glucocorticoid exposure. - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): may raise mometasone levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antihistamines: may enhance sedation if nasal irritation disrupts sleep. - Nasal decongestants: may mask local irritation, leading to overuse. - Live vaccines: systemic absorption could reduce vaccine efficacy.
