Effectiveness
How Nasonex Affects PatientsMometasone is a type of corticosteroid that is more powerful than other corticosteroids and is filtered more easily across cell membranes. This helps activate pathways in the body that reduce inflammation.
How Nasonex works in the bodyMometasone is used to treat asthma by preventing cells such as mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and lymphocytes from releasing chemicals that cause inflammation. It does this by binding to special receptors that are found in the cell's cytosol. When mometasone binds to the receptor, it causes the receptor to change shape and move to the nucleus of the cell. The receptor then binds to a special DNA sequence which boosts the production of anti-inflammatory molecules and stops the production of molecules that cause inflammation. Mometasone also works by blocking certain proteins that drive inflammation.

Nasonex Toxicity & Overdose RiskOverdosing on a mometasone furoate inhaler can cause symptoms such as increased cortisol levels, and patients may not require further treatment beyond monitoring. In pregnant patients, some fetal side effects have been seen in animal studies at high doses, though humans may be less sensitive. It is unknown if mometasone furoate is passed to babies through breast milk, so caution should be taken when administering to nursing mothers. Clinical trials have shown that mometasone furoate is safe and effective in pediatric populations, although there may be some growth reduction depending on the dose and duration of treatment.

Nasonex Reviews: What are patients saying about Nasonex?
5Patient Review
3/22/2015 This medication was an absolute lifesaver. I had sinusitis, chronic infections, and general trouble breathing through my nose before using Nasonex, but this drug really gave me back my life. However, it is criminal how expensive this medication is in the United States.
3.3Patient Review
5/20/2018 While it did help with my constant hayfever problem, unfortunately I appear to have most of the unwanted side affects too - total loss of smell and taste, headaches, red eyes, dry mouth/throat, upset tummy, diahrrea, dreadful joint swelling and pain and other symptoms I'm not sure are related to Nasonex or coincidental. Either way, I would much rather a sneezy runny nose 24/7 than these side effects! My life is hell because of this stuff.
2.7Patient Review
5/12/2015 I've been using this for a few months now and unfortunately haven't seen any benefits. Additionally, it's made in China!
2.7Patient Review
6/13/2022 Though this medicine did help me clear my sinuses, the side effects were really harsh. I felt anxious, had headaches and nausea, and constantly felt like my muscles ached. So unfortunately, I had to stop taking it.
2.3Patient Review
5/18/2015 I stopped using this after four days because I woke up on the fifth day with complete blurred vision. I couldn't read any street signs, even though I have perfect vision. This was scary, and I will never use this again.
