Uses / Indications:

Pregnancy interaction:
Mometasone furoate is a corticosteroid that helps with nasal inflammation and allergy symptoms. It is in Metaspray Nasal Spray.
It should only be used during pregnancy if a doctor says it is necessary. Even though systemic absorption from nasal use is low, using it for a long time or too much could harm the development of the fetus.
If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you should always talk to your doctor before using Metaspray.
Expert advice:
Only use in the nose; don't spray it into your mouth or eyes.
Before each usage, shake the bottle well.
Before spraying, gently blow your nose to clear it.
Don't let other people use your nasal spray so that germs don't spread.
If you need to keep using it after the prescribed time, you should do so under the care of a doctor.
Tell your doctor if you get nosebleeds or irritation often. You may need to change your dose.
Count how many sprays you use and throw away the bottle after the number of dosages on the label (typically about 120 sprays).
Side Effects:
Irritation or dryness in the nose
Sneezing after putting it on
Nosebleed (epistaxis)
Sore throat or headache
Cough or slight burning feeling
Side effects that are rare yet serious:
Very bad allergic reaction (rash, stinging, edema)
Nasal septum perforation (uncommon with prolonged use)
Changes in vision or higher pressure in the eyes (risk of glaucoma or cataracts)
Signs of infection or slow healing in the nose
If you have serious or long-lasting symptoms, get medical care right once.
How to use:
Before using, give the bottle a good shake.
To cleanse your nasal passages, gently blow your nose.
Put the nozzle in one nostril and tilt your head slightly forward.
While inhaling in slowly, close the other nostril and press the pump to spray.
If necessary, do the same thing with the opposite nostril.
After using, clean the nozzle and put the cap back on.
Use once a day, usually 1–2 sprays per nostril, or as your doctor tells you to.
How it works:
Mometasone is a topical corticosteroid in Metaspray Nasal Spray that works via
Lessening edema, inflammation, and mucus production in the nose
Preventing allergic reactions by stopping the release of inflammatory molecules such histamines, leukotrienes, and cytokines
This helps with nasal congestion, sneezing, and trouble breathing that are caused by allergic or non-allergic rhinitis.

Medicine interaction:
Other corticosteroids, whether inhaled, taken by mouth, or applied to the skin, may raise overall steroid exposure.
Antifungal drugs like Ketoconazole and Itraconazole may make steroid levels in the blood higher.
HIV drugs (Ritonavir, Cobicistat) raise the chance of systemic steroid effects.
Immunosuppressants may make the body's immunological response more weaker.
Before you start using Metaspray, you should always tell your doctor about any other medicines or nasal sprays you are taking.
