What does Nasonex do? 

Nasonex, with the generic name mometasone furoate monohydrate, is a nasal spray indicated to treat nasal symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, stuffy/runny nose, and itching. It also treats nasal congestion caused by seasonal allergic rhinitis and serves as a prophylaxis for the same type of allergic rhinitis. It is also prescribed for nasal polyps. 

This is available in Nasonex 50 mcg nasal spray. 

How does Nasonex work? 

This corticosteroid could decrease certain markers of early and late phase allergic response. It demonstrates its potent anti-inflammatory action through its wide range of effects on multiple cell types like mast cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages. It also acts on mediators, such as histamine, leukotrienes, cytokines, and histamines. These are all involved in the process of inflammation.
