Momeflo Nasal Spray

Momeflo Nasal Spray is a mometasone nasal spray used to help control allergy symptoms in the nose. Each bottle contains mometasone as labelled, a corticosteroid medicine that reduces inflammation inside the nasal passages. Momeflo Nasal Spray is used for seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis and may also be prescribed for nasal polyps in some patients. It is a pack of 10 bottles from Lupin, India, and should be used only as directed by a clinician.

How it works: Mometasone is a corticosteroid that lowers inflammation and swelling in the lining of the nose. As a spray, Momeflo Nasal Spray delivers the medicine directly to the nasal passages so it can reduce sneezing, itching, congestion, and runny nose.

Because Momeflo Nasal Spray is labeled only as the standard mometasone spray strength, it fits the usual nasal-spray dosing used for most adults and many children, rather than a lower or higher tablet-like strength. A doctor may choose this spray when symptoms need local anti-inflammatory treatment in the nose, since nasal use acts directly where congestion, sneezing, and runny nose start. If a patient needs a different regimen, the prescriber may adjust how many sprays are used per nostril and how often.

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis
• Perennial allergic rhinitis
• Nasal congestion from allergies
• Sneezing and nasal itching
• Runny nose caused by allergies
• Nasal polyps, when prescribed

• Shake the bottle before each use unless your pharmacist or label says otherwise.
• Prime the spray before first use if needed, and prime it again if it has not been used for several days.
• Blow your nose gently before spraying.
• Keep your head upright, insert the tip into one nostril, and aim slightly away from the center of the nose.
• Spray only the number of times your doctor prescribed for each nostril.
• Do not share the bottle with anyone else and wipe the nozzle clean after use.

Momeflo Nasal Spray provides mometasone as labelled in each bottle, and the exact number of sprays per nostril depends on the prescription and the reason it is being used. It is often taken once daily, and the maximum daily dose depends on age and the condition being treated, so the doctor decides the schedule for this specific strength. Do not use more sprays than prescribed, even if symptoms are severe.

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

Common side effects of Mometasone may include:

• Nosebleed
• Burning or stinging in the nose
• Nasal irritation or dryness
• Headache
• Sore throat
• Sneezing after spraying

• Use exactly as prescribed; more frequent use does not make Momeflo Nasal Spray work faster and may raise the chance of side effects.
• Tell your doctor if you have recent nose injury, nasal surgery, or frequent nosebleeds before using this spray.
• Long-term or high-dose steroid use may affect growth in children, so pediatric use should be monitored closely.
• Use caution if you have glaucoma, cataracts, or unexplained vision changes, since nasal steroids can worsen eye problems in some people.
• Tell your clinician if you have tuberculosis, untreated infections, or a weak immune system.
• Avoid using the spray during an active untreated nose infection unless your prescriber says it is okay.
• If symptoms do not improve after regular use, contact a healthcare professional instead of increasing the dose on your own.

• Other corticosteroids, including oral, inhaled, or other nasal steroids
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, or cobicistat
• Live vaccines if you are using long-term steroid therapy and your doctor advises caution
• Other medicines that suppress the immune system
• Prescription allergy medicines may be used together only if your clinician recommends it

Store Momeflo Nasal Spray at room temperature, keep the bottle tightly closed, and protect it from heat and direct sunlight.
