NASONEX 50 MICROGRAMS / DISPENSING, NASAL SPRAY, SUSPENSION
Indications Why is Nasonex used? What is it for?
What is Nasonex?
Nasonex Nasal Spray contains mometasone furoate which belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids. Mometasone furoate should not be confused with "anabolic" steroids that some athletes misuse and taken in tablet or injectable form. Small amounts of mometasone furoate sprayed into the nose can help relieve inflammation, sneezing, itching, stuffy or runny nose conditions.
What is Nasonex used for?
Nasonex is used in adults and children from 6 years of age to treat the symptoms of hay fever (also called seasonal allergic rhinitis) and perennial rhinitis.
In adults from 18 years of age, Nasonex is also used in the treatment of nasal polyposis.
What is hay fever and perennial rhinitis?
Hay fever, which appears at certain times of the year, is an allergic reaction caused by the inhalation of pollen from trees, grass, weeds and also mold spores and fungal spores. Perennial rhinitis is present all over the place. "year and symptoms can be caused by sensitivity to a variety of elements, including house dust mite, animal hair (or dandruff), feathers and certain foods. These allergies cause a runny nose and sneezing and a swelling of the nasal mucosa causing a feeling of obstruction. Nasonex reduces swelling and nasal irritation and relieves sneezing, itching, stuffy or runny nose conditions.
What are nasal polyps?
Nasal polyps are small growths on the nasal mucosa and usually affect both nostrils. The main symptom is a feeling of constipation which can affect nasal breathing. Runny nose, a sensation of fluid running down the back of the throat, as well as loss of taste and smell may also occur. Nasonex reduces inflammation of the nose by causing gradual narrowing of the polyps.

- Point the vaporizer away and press with your fingers to charge the spray.
If you have not used the spray for 14 days or more, you will need to refill the pump 2 times until you see an even jet.
With a normal dose of two sprays in each nostril once a day for the treatment of hay fever, perennial rhinitis and nasal polyposis, this container provides sufficient doses for 15 days.
How to use the nasal spray
- Gently shake the bottle and remove the dust cap. (Figure 1)
- Gently blow your nose.
- Close one nostril and insert the vaporizer into the other as shown. (Figure 2) Tilt your head slightly forward, keeping the container straight.
- Begin to breathe in gently or slowly through the nose, administer a squirt of the spray into the nose by pressing ONCE with your fingers.
- Breathe out through your mouth. Repeat step 4 to inhale a second spray into the same nostril.
- Remove the vaporizer from this nostril and exhale through your mouth.
- Repeat steps 3 to 6 for the other nostril. (Figure 3)

Side Effects What are the side effects of Nasonex
Like all medicines, Nasonex can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Rarely, immediate hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions may occur after use of this product. Very rarely these reactions can be serious. Contact your doctor immediately if breathing becomes labored or difficult.
In rare cases, treatment with corticosteroid nasal sprays, such as NASONEX, has resulted in increased eye pressure (glaucoma) and / or cataracts, causing visual disturbances and damage to the part in the nose that separates the nostrils. Contact your doctor if you experience any of these side effects. When nasal spray corticosteroids are used in high doses for long periods of time, side effects may very rarely occur due to the drug being absorbed into the body.
Other side effects
Most people have no problems with using the nasal spray. However, some after using Nasonex or other corticosteroid nasal sprays may observe:
- headache,
- sneezing,
- nose bleeding,
- pain in the nose or throat,
- very rarely alterations of taste and smell.
Children
When used in high dosages and for prolonged periods, nasal sprays can cause some side effects, such as growth retardation in children. It is therefore recommended to monitor height in children who use prolonged use of nasal corticosteroids. If this effect occurs, their doctor should be informed.
Nasonex contains benzalkonium chloride which can cause nasal irritation.
If any of the side effects gets serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please tell your doctor or pharmacist.

NASONEX Nasal Spray is indicated for the treatment of nasal polyps in adult patients aged 18 years and over.
04.2 Posology and method of administration
After an initial priming of the NASONEX Nasal Spray pump (actuate 10 times, until a uniform jet is observed), each delivery releases approximately 100 mg of suspension containing mometasone furoate monohydrate equivalent to 50 mcg of mometasone furoate. If the spray pump is not used for 14 days or more, it must be refilled with 2 sprays until an even spray is observed before the next use.
Seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis
Adults (including geriatric patients) and children from 12 years of age: The usual recommended dose is two puffs (50 mcg / puff) into each nostril once a day (total dose 200 mcg). Once symptoms are controlled, dose reduction to one puff in each nostril (total dose 100 mcg) may be effective for maintenance.
If symptoms are inadequately controlled, the dose can be increased to a maximum daily dose of four puffs in each nostril once daily (total dose 400 mcg). Dose reduction is recommended once symptom control is achieved.
Children between the ages of 6 and 11: The usual recommended dose is one puff (50 mcg / puff) into each nostril once a day (total dose 100 mcg).
NASONEX Nasal Spray has shown onset of clinically significant activity within 12 hours of the first dose in some patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis; however, a full treatment benefit may not be achieved within the first 48 hours. Therefore the patient should continue treatment. regular use to obtain full therapeutic benefit.
Nasal polyposis
The commonly recommended starting dosage for polyposis is two puffs (50 mcg / puff) into each nostril once daily (for a total dose of 200 mcg). If symptoms are not adequately controlled after 5 or 6 weeks, the dosage can be increased to a daily dose of two puffs into each nostril twice daily (for a total dose of 400 mcg). Dosage should be reduced to the lowest dose at which effective symptom control is maintained. Alternative therapies should be considered if symptom improvement does not occur after 5 or 6 weeks of twice daily treatment.
The efficacy and safety studies of NASONEX Nasal Spray in the treatment of nasal polyposis lasted four months.
Before administering the first dose, shake the container well and operate the pump 10 times (until a uniform spray is obtained). If the vaporizer will not be used for 14 days or more, load the pump with 2 puffs until an even jet is observed. Shake the container well before each use. The bottle must be thrown away after making the number of deliveries indicated on the label or within 2 months after the first use.
04.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of NASONEX Nasal Spray.
NASONEX Nasal Spray should not be used in the case of untreated localized infections involving the nasal mucosa.
Due to the inhibitory effect of corticosteroids on wound healing, patients who have recently undergone nasal surgery or who have suffered trauma should not use a nasal corticosteroid until healing has occurred.
04.4 Special warnings and appropriate precautions for use
NASONEX Nasal Spray should be used with caution, or even not used, in patients with active or quiescent tuberculous infections of the respiratory tract or in the case of untreated fungal, bacterial, systemic viral infections or in the case of ocular herpes simplex.
After 12 months of treatment with NASONEX nasal spray there is no evidence of atrophy of the nasal mucosa; furthermore, mometasone furoate tends to restore the normal histological phenotype of the nasal mucosa. As with any long-term treatment, patients using NASONEX nasal spray for several months or more they should be examined periodically for possible changes in the nasal mucosa. If a localized "fungal infection in the nose or pharynx develops, discontinuation of NASONEX Nasal Spray therapy or appropriate treatment may be required. The persistence of a "nasopharyngeal irritation may be a" indication to discontinue NASONEX nasal spray.
Although NASONEX controls nasal symptoms in most patients, concomitant use of appropriate supplemental therapy can also relieve other symptoms, particularly ocular symptoms.
There is no evidence of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis following prolonged treatment with NASONEX nasal spray. However, those patients who switch from long-term administration of systemically active corticosteroids to NASONEX Nasal Spray require special attention. Withdrawal of systemic corticosteroids in these patients can lead to adrenal gland failure for a few months, until the HPA axis is restored. If these patients show signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, administration of systemic corticosteroids should be resumed and other therapies and appropriate measures instituted.
When switching from systemic corticosteroids to NASONEX Nasal Spray, some patients may experience systemically active corticosteroid withdrawal symptoms (e.g. joint and / or muscle pain initially, fatigue and depression) despite remission of nasal symptoms, and these patients should be encouraged. to continue therapy with NASONEX nasal spray. This step can also bring to light pre-existing allergic conditions, such as allergic conjunctivitis and eczema, previously suppressed by systemic corticosteroid therapy.
The safety and efficacy of NASONEX have not been studied for the treatment of unilateral polyps, polyps associated with cystic fibrosis or polyps that completely obstruct the nasal passages.
Unilateral polyps that appear unusual or irregular, especially if ulcerative or bleeding, need to be further evaluated.
Patients treated with corticosteroids who are potentially immunosuppressed should be advised of the risk of exposure to certain infections (eg chicken pox, measles) and of the importance of seeking medical attention if such exposure occurs.
Following the use of intranasal corticosteroids, cases of nasal septal perforation or increased intraocular pressure have been reported very rarely.
The safety and efficacy of NASONEX Nasal Spray for the treatment of nasal polyposis have not been studied in children and adolescents below 18 years of age.
Systemic effects may occur with inhaled corticosteroids, particularly when prescribed in high doses for prolonged periods. These effects are less likely to occur than with oral corticosteroid treatment and may vary in individual patients and between different corticosteroid preparations.Possible systemic effects may include Cushing's syndrome, Cushingoid appearance, adrenal suppression, growth retardation in children and adolescents, cataracts, glaucoma and, more rarely, a range of psychological or behavioral effects including psychomotor hyperactivity, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression or aggression (particularly in children).
It is recommended that the height of children on prolonged treatment with nasal corticosteroids is regularly monitored. If growth is slowed, therapy should be reviewed in order to reduce, if possible, the dose of the nasal corticosteroid to the minimum that allows effective symptom control. In addition, the patient should be advised to refer to a pediatrician.
Treatment with higher than recommended dosages may result in clinically significant suppression of the adrenal gland. If there is evidence that higher than recommended dosages should be used, additional systemic corticosteroid coverage should be considered during times of stress or elective surgery.
04.5 Interactions with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
(For use with systemic corticosteroids, see section 4.4. Special warnings and precautions for use).
A clinical interaction study was conducted with loratadine. No interactions were observed.
04.6 Pregnancy and lactation
There are no adequate or well-controlled studies in pregnant women. As with other nasal preparations containing corticosteroids, NASONEX Nasal Spray should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, unless the potential benefit to the mother justifies any potential risk to the mother, fetus or infant. Babies born to mothers. treated with corticosteroids during pregnancy should be carefully observed for possible hypoadrenalism.
04.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
You don't notice.
04.8 Undesirable effects
Treatment-related adverse events reported in clinical trials for allergic rhinitis in adult and adolescent patients are listed below (Table 1).
Epistaxis was generally self-limiting and mild in severity and appeared at a higher incidence than placebo (5%), but with a lower or comparable incidence than the control nasal corticosteroids studied (up to 15%). The incidence of all other effects was comparable to that of placebo.
In the pediatric population, the incidence of adverse events, such as epistaxis (6%), headache (3%), nasal irritation (2%) and sneezing (2%), was comparable to that with placebo.
In patients treated for nasal polyposis, the overall incidence of adverse events was comparable to placebo and similar to that observed in patients with allergic rhinitis. Treatment-related adverse events reported in ≥ 1% of patients during clinical trials for polyposis are listed below (Table 2).
In patients treated for acute rhinosinusitis, the incidence of epistaxis for NASONEX was 3.3% versus 2.6% for placebo and similar to that seen in patients treated for allergic rhinitis.
Rarely, immediate hypersensitivity reactions including bronchospasm and dyspnoea may occur after intranasal administration of mometasone furoate monohydrate. Very rarely, anaphylaxis and angioedema have been reported.
Cases of changes in taste and smell have been reported very rarely.
As with other intranasal corticosteroids, rare cases of nasal septal perforation have been reported.
Systemic nasal corticosteroid effects may occur, especially when prescribed at high doses for prolonged periods.
Rare cases of glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure and / or cataracts have been reported with the use of intranasal corticosteroids.
04.9 Overdose
Since the systemic bioavailability of NASONEX is sensitive with a lower limit of quantification of 0.25 pg / mL), overdose is unlikely to require therapy other than observation followed by initiation of the appropriate prescribed dosage. L "Inhalation or oral administration of excessive doses of corticosteroids can lead to suppression of HPA axis function."
05.0 PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
05.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Decongestants and other nasal preparations for topical use - Corticosteroids, ATC code: R01AD09.
Mometasone furoate is a topical glucocorticoid with local anti-inflammatory properties at doses that are not systemically active.
It is likely that the mechanism of the anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects of mometasone furoate is mostly related to its ability to inhibit the release of the mediators of allergic reactions. Mometasone furoate significantly inhibits the release of leukotrienes from the leukocytes of allergic patients.
In cell cultures, mometasone furoate has shown high potency in inhibiting the synthesis and release of IL-1, IL-5, IL-6 and TNFα; it is also a potent inhibitor of leukotriene production. It is also an extremely potent inhibitor. Th2-mediated production of cytokines, IL-4 and IL-5, by CD4 + T cells.
In studies using the nasal antigen exposure technique, NASONEX nasal spray demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in both early and late stages of allergic responses. This was demonstrated by the decrease (versus placebo) of histamine and eosinophilic activity. and by the reduction (against base values) of eosinophils, neutrophils and epithelial cell adhesion proteins.
In 28% of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, NASONEX Nasal Spray demonstrated the onset of clinically significant activity within 12 hours after the first dose. The median time (50%) to onset of symptom relief was 35.9 hours.
In two studies involving 1954 patients, Nasonex 200 micrograms nasal spray, administered twice daily, for a treatment period of 15 days (Study P02683 p pain / pressure / sensitivity of the face, sinus headache, rhinorrhea, post-nasal discharge and congestion / obstruction One arm of the study treated with amoxicillin 500 mg three times a day did not show significantly different results from placebo in reducing these symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis, again assessed through the MSS. The SNOT-20 Quality of Life Questionnaire (Sino-Nasal Outcome Test) showed significant benefit with 200 mcg mometasone furoate twice daily versus placebo (p = 0.047). Treatment duration greater than 15 days was not evaluated in acute rhinosinusitis.
In a placebo-controlled clinical study in pediatric patients (n = 49 / group), treated with NASONEX 100 mcg daily for one year, no reduction in growth rate was observed.
In the pediatric population aged 3 to 5 years, the available data on the safety and efficacy of NASONEX are limited and an appropriate range dosage. In a study conducted in 48 children aged 3 to 5 years, treated with mometasone furoate administered intranasally at a dose of 50, 100 or 200 mcg / day for 14 days, there was no significant difference in change from placebo. mean plasma cortisol level in response to the tetracosactrine stimulation test.
05.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
Mometasone furoate, administered as an aqueous nasal spray, has plasma systemic bioavailability using a sensitive assay with a lower limit of quantitation of 0.25 pg / mL. The mometasone furoate suspension is very poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and the small amount that can be swallowed and absorbed undergoes extensive first pass hepatic metabolism prior to excretion in the urine and bile.
05.3 Preclinical safety data
No toxicological effects related solely to exposure to mometasone furoate have been demonstrated. All observed effects are typical of this class of compounds and are related to exaggerated pharmacological effects of glucocorticoids.
Preclinical studies show that mometasone furoate lacks androgenic, antiandrogenic, estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity but, like other glucocorticoids, it exhibits some antiuterotrophic activity and delays vaginal dilation in animal models at high oral doses of 56 mg / kg / day and 280 mg / kg / day.
Like other glucocorticoids, mometasone furoate showed clastogenic potential at high concentrations in vitro. However, no mutagenic effect can be expected at appropriate therapeutic doses.
In reproductive function studies, mometasone furoate administered subcutaneously at a dose of 15 mcg / kg prolonged gestation and caused prolonged and difficult labor with a reduction in the survival of the offspring, in body weight or an increase in it. There was no effect on fertility.
Like other glucocorticoids, mometasone furoate is teratogenic in rodents and rabbits. Effects observed were umbilical hernia in rats, cleft palate in mice and gallbladder agenesis, umbilical hernia and curved forelegs in rabbits. In addition, there were reductions in maternal weight gain, effects on fetal growth (lower fetal body weight and / or delayed ossification) in rats, rabbits and mice, and reduced offspring survival in mice.
The potential carcinogenicity of inhaled mometasone furoate (aerosol with chloro-fluoro-carbide propellant and surfactant) at concentrations of 0.25 to 2.0 mcg / l was evaluated in 24-month studies in mice and rats. . Typical glucocorticoid-related effects were observed, including numerous non-neoplastic lesions. There was no statistically significant dose-response relationship for any of the tumor types.
