Do I need a prescription for Nasonex Aqueous Nasal Spray?

Yes. Nasonex Aqueous Nasal Spray is a prescription intranasal corticosteroid in Canada. Your prescription is reviewed by a licensed pharmacist before dispensing. We can assist with the ordering process, but your clinician decides if it is appropriate for your condition and dosing needs.

How fast does Nasonex Aqueous Nasal Spray start to work?

Some symptom relief may begin within 12 to 24 hours, especially for sneezing and runny nose. Congestion can take longer. Best results often appear after several days of daily use, with full benefit in up to two weeks. Continue as directed during your allergy season or ongoing symptoms.

Can I use Nasonex nasal spray without insurance and still save?

Yes. Many patients compare the cash price across pharmacies. Buying through YouDrugstore can offer 60–80% savings versus typical U.S. retail pricing. You can order online, choose brand or generic mometasone, and reduce costs further with multi‑month supplies and periodic promotions.

What are common side effects and when should I seek help?

Common effects include nosebleeds, nasal irritation, sore throat, cough, and headache. Stop use and seek care if you have severe or persistent bleeding, signs of allergy, or a perforated septum. Eye problems like vision changes need prompt attention, especially with long-term high-dose use.

How do I prime, store, and travel with the spray?

Prime by spraying into the air until a fine mist appears before first use, and re‑prime with two sprays if unused for a week. Store upright at room temperature, away from freezes and heat. Keep the cap on and nozzle clean. When traveling, pack it in your carry‑on to avoid temperature extremes.

Can I use other allergy medicines with Nasonex?

Many patients use saline rinses or oral antihistamines alongside an intranasal steroid. Avoid using two steroid nasal sprays together unless directed. Limit topical nasal decongestants to short courses. Always review your full medication list with your clinician to avoid interactions or duplicate therapy.

What dose is typical for adults and children?

Adults and adolescents often start with two sprays in each nostril once daily for allergic rhinitis, then step down if controlled. Children usually use lower doses. Nasal polyps in adults may start at two sprays each nostril twice daily. Follow your prescriber’s plan and the product label for exact dosing.

What Nasonex® Is and How It Works

Nasonex® Aqueous Nasal Spray contains mometasone furoate, a corticosteroid. It treats nasal allergy symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and runny nose. It also treats nasal polyps in adults. The spray is used in the nose, once or twice daily, depending on the condition. Many patients compare prices for nasonex nasal spray without insurance, and we help by offering Canadian pricing.

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy based in Manitoba. Our pharmacists review each prescription before dispensing. We carry brand and generic medicines at Canadian prices, and also offer OTC health products. We ship to the US with careful packaging.

We source through licensed, vetted partner pharmacies and distributors, so you receive authentic brand medications at fair prices and a wide selection.

Mometasone reduces nasal inflammation by blocking inflammatory signals. This eases swelling in nasal passages. It can improve airflow and reduce itchy, watery symptoms. Most people use the spray every day during allergy seasons or year-round for perennial symptoms.

Dosage and Usage

Follow your prescriber’s directions and the product label. Do not exceed the maximum daily sprays.

Prime the pump before first use by spraying into the air until a fine mist appears (about 10 sprays).
If not used for 1 week or longer, re-prime with 2 sprays.
Shake gently before each use.
Clear the nose gently. Tilt the head slightly forward.
Insert the nozzle into one nostril while closing the other.
Aim slightly away from the septum. Press to spray while breathing in gently.
Exhale through the mouth. Repeat in the other nostril.
Wipe the nozzle and replace the cap.

Typical dosing for seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis in adults and adolescents starts at 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Some may step down to 1 spray in each nostril once daily when controlled. Children often use lower doses. Nasal polyps often require 2 sprays in each nostril twice daily at the start, then may reduce as directed.

Missed dose: use the next dose when remembered. If it is close to the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double doses.

Storage: store at room temperature (about 15–30°C/59–86°F). Do not freeze.
Keep the bottle upright with the cap on.
Do not share the spray with anyone.
Clean the nozzle regularly as directed on the label. Do not poke with a pin.
Track total sprays. Discard after the labeled number of sprays, even if liquid remains.
Travel: keep in your carry-on. Avoid extreme heat or cold.

Benefits and Savings

Nasonex® helps reduce congestion, sneezing, itching, and runny nose. It also treats nasal polyps and can improve smell in some patients. Daily use controls symptoms with low systemic absorption. The pump delivers a measured dose for consistent relief.

Ordering through YouDrugstore is simple and secure. You can order online or by phone during posted hours, and our customer-service chat can help with account or order questions. We offer Canadian pricing with typical 60–80% savings compared to US retail, which helps many who pay without insurance.

Side Effects and Safety

Common: nosebleeds, nasal irritation or burning, sore throat, cough, headache.
Less common: nasal dryness or crusting, unpleasant taste or smell.
Rare but serious: nasal septum perforation, severe nosebleeds, hypersensitivity reactions.
Eye-related risks with long-term high-dose use: glaucoma or cataracts.
Systemic steroid effects are uncommon but possible at high doses or with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Do not use if you are allergic to mometasone or any spray ingredient. Use caution after recent nasal surgery or injury until healing occurs. Growth should be monitored in children on long-term corticosteroids. Tell your clinician about eye problems, frequent nosebleeds, active infections, or tuberculosis.

Drug interactions are uncommon with intranasal use. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as ritonavir, cobicistat, ketoconazole, or clarithromycin) can increase steroid exposure. Discuss all prescription and OTC medicines with your clinician.

Onset Time

Some relief can start within 12–24 hours. Maximum benefit may take several days to 2 weeks of regular use. Continue daily use as directed for full effect during allergy seasons.

Compare With Alternatives

Many intranasal steroids offer similar efficacy. Mometasone (the active in Nasonex®) has very low systemic bioavailability and is scent-free. Some patients prefer its gentle spray. Those who want a generic option can consider Mometasone Nasal Spray. It contains the same active ingredient and dose per spray.

Beclomethasone is another option with effective allergy control. It may have a different spray feel and priming steps. You can compare details with Beclomethasone Nasal Spray.

Dryness from any steroid spray can reduce comfort. A moisturizing nasal oil can help support the lining. Some patients pair their therapy with Rhinaris® Nozoil Nasal Spray for dryness relief.

Combination Therapy

Combination strategies can improve control. Saline rinses or sprays can clear allergens and improve delivery. Oral antihistamines help with eye itching or hives. Short courses of oral decongestants may be used for severe congestion, but not long term. Leukotriene modifiers or allergy immunotherapy may suit selected patients under clinical care.

Avoid using two steroid nasal sprays together unless directed. Limit topical decongestant nasal drops to a few days to prevent rebound congestion.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Nasonex® suits adults and children who need daily control of seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis. It also treats nasal polyps in adults. It is not a rescue medicine for sudden congestion. Those with recurrent nosebleeds, recent nasal surgery, or untreated infections may need different care. Review your history with a clinician.
