Field of use

• What is the preparation?
  • The nasal spray contains mometasonfuroat, a fabric from the group of so -called corticosteroids. Mometasonfuroat should not be confused with anabolic steroids that are misused by some athletes and used as tablets or injections. If Mometasonfuroat is sprayed into the nose, this can help to alleviate inflammation (swelling and irritation of the nose), sneezing, itchy and a clogged or running nose.
• What is the preparation used for?
  • It is used in adults to treat the complaints of hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), provided that the initial diagnosis of the hay fever has been carried out by a doctor.
  • Hay fever that occurs at certain times a year is an allergic reaction caused by the inhalation of pollen of trees, grasses and also mold and fungal spores. The nasal spray reduces the swelling and irritation in its nose and thus relieves sneezes, itching and a clogged or running nose caused by hay fever.
• If you don't feel better or worse after a few days, please contact your doctor.

Taking

• Preparation of your nasal spray for application

  • When you use the spray for the first time, you have to prepare the bottle by pressing the spray 10 times until a fine spray is created:
    • 1. Shake the bottle carefully.
    • 2. Place your index and middle finger on one side of the nose piece and your thumb under the bottle. Do not penetrate the outlet opening of the nose piece.
    • 3. Keep the nose piece away and press down with your fingers to press the spray 10 times until a fine spray is generated.
  • If you have not used the nasal spray for 14 days or longer, you have to prepare it again by pressing the spray 2 times until a fine spray is created.
• How to use the nasal spray
  • 1. Shake the bottle carefully and remove the protective cap from the nose piece
  • 2. Clean your nose.
  • 3. Close a nose opening and insert the nose piece into the other nose opening. Tilt your head slightly forward and keep the bottle upright.
  • 4. Begin it easily to breathe in your nose. As you inhale, spray a spray of fine sprays into your nose by pressing down with your fingers.
  • 5. Exhale your mouth. Repeat step 4 to give a second spray in the same nose opening if necessary.
  • 6. Take the nose piece out of this nose opening and breathe out through your mouth.
