Metaspray 100 mdi Nasal Spray

Metaspray 100 mdi Nasal Spray is a mometasone nasal spray used to help control allergy symptoms in the nose. Each spray delivers mometasone as labelled, a corticosteroid medicine that works directly in the nasal passages. Metaspray 100 mdi Nasal Spray is used for allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, and nasal congestion. It may also be used to help treat nasal inflammation in some patients when prescribed by a doctor.

How it works: Mometasone is a corticosteroid that lowers swelling and irritation inside the nose. As a spray, Metaspray 100 mdi Nasal Spray coats the nasal lining so symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and itching can improve with regular use.

Metaspray 100 mdi Nasal Spray is a fixed-dose spray, so each actuation gives the same amount of mometasone in each spray. Compared with lower-dose nasal sprays, this strength is suited to patients whose symptoms need a stronger prescribed option, but it is still a local nasal treatment rather than a fast-acting decongestant. A doctor may choose Metaspray 100 mdi Nasal Spray when ongoing allergy control is needed and a standard spray dose is appropriate for the patient.

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis
• Perennial allergic rhinitis
• Sneezing and runny nose
• Nasal itching
• Stuffy nose from allergies
• Doctor-directed control of nasal inflammation

• Use Metaspray 100 mdi Nasal Spray only in the nose; do not swallow or inject it.
• Shake and prime the spray if needed before the first use or if it has not been used for several days.
• Blow your nose gently before using the spray.
• Aim the nozzle away from the center of the nose to reduce irritation and nosebleeds.
• Use it regularly at the time your doctor recommends; it is not meant for immediate relief of sudden severe congestion.
• If you miss a dose, use it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose.

Metaspray 100 mdi Nasal Spray provides mometasone as labelled in each spray, and the exact number of sprays per nostril depends on your doctor’s instructions and the condition being treated. It is usually taken once daily, but some patients may be told to use a different schedule; do not exceed the maximum daily dose prescribed for you. Your doctor decides the right dose based on age, symptoms, and response.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
