Nasonex Nasal Spray

Nasonex Nasal Spray contains Mometasone 50mcg which treats sneezing and runny nose due to allergies.  Nasonex Nasal Spray Suspension is a steroid. It is absorbed into the cells of the inner surface of the nose and works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) and allergies. This relieves blocked or runny nose, sneezing, and sinus discomfort.
