Norhinose Nasal Spray 120 Metered Doses

Description:

Norhinose Nasal Spray 120 Metered Doses is a prescription intranasal corticosteroid medicine used for the treatment and prevention of nasal allergy symptoms. It contains mometasone furoate, a glucocorticoid with potent local anti‑inflammatory and anti‑allergic action in the nasal mucosa. Each metered dose delivers a precise amount of medication directly into the nose to relieve sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itching associated with allergic rhinitis. This product is classified as a medicine and is intended for therapeutic use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea (runny nose), and nasal itching.
• Treatment of perennial (year‑round) allergic rhinitis symptoms caused by dust mites, animal dander, molds, or other indoor allergens.
• Prevention of seasonal allergic rhinitis when started before expected pollen exposure, as directed by a physician.
• Relief of inflammation and swelling of the nasal mucosa associated with allergic conditions.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Mometasone furoate – 50 mcg per metered dose (intranasal corticosteroid).
• Other excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (e.g. preservatives, stabilizers, suspending agents) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as directed by your doctor or according to the patient information leaflet.
• Adults and adolescents (typically 12 years and older): the usual recommended dose for allergic rhinitis is 2 sprays in each nostril once daily (total daily dose 200 mcg). Your doctor may reduce the dose to 1 spray in each nostril once daily after symptoms are controlled.
• Children: dosing and age limits should be determined by a pediatrician; do not use in children without medical advice.
• Administration steps:
  • Gently blow your nose to clear the nostrils before use.
  • Shake the bottle well.
  • If using for the first time or after a period of non‑use, prime the spray according to the package instructions (usually by pressing the pump several times until a fine mist appears).
  • Insert the nozzle into one nostril while closing the other nostril with a finger.
  • Keep your head slightly tilted forward and breathe in gently through the nose while pressing the pump to release one spray.
  • Repeat in the other nostril as directed.
  • Wipe the nozzle and replace the protective cap after use.
• Use at the same time each day for best control of symptoms.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose or duration of treatment without consulting your doctor.
• If a dose is missed, use it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny or itchy nose associated with allergic rhinitis.
• Reduces inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages through targeted glucocorticoid action.
• Helps improve breathing comfort and airflow through the nose, supporting better sleep and daily functioning.
• Once‑daily dosing offers convenient, long‑lasting symptom control when used regularly as prescribed.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to mometasone furoate or any of the product components.
• Do not use in the presence of untreated localized infection involving the nasal mucosa, such as untreated fungal, bacterial, or viral infections.
• Use with caution in patients with recent nasal surgery or trauma until healing has occurred, as corticosteroids may delay wound healing.
• Prolonged use of intranasal corticosteroids at high doses may cause systemic effects such as adrenal suppression or growth retardation in children; use the lowest effective dose and monitor as advised by your doctor.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
• Consult your doctor if you have tuberculosis, any chronic or recurrent respiratory infections, or immune system disorders.
• Avoid spraying directly into the eyes or mouth. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• If symptoms do not improve after several days of regular use, or if they worsen, seek medical advice.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without appropriate medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include nasal irritation or burning, sore throat, headache, nosebleeds (epistaxis), or unpleasant taste or smell.
• Less common side effects can include nasal dryness, cough, or upper respiratory tract infections.
• Rare but serious side effects may include severe nosebleeds, perforation of the nasal septum, signs of hypersensitivity (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), or visual disturbances; stop use and seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• Long‑term or high‑dose use may rarely lead to systemic corticosteroid effects such as adrenal suppression or growth delay in children; regular medical follow‑up is recommended for prolonged therapy.
• If you experience any persistent or bothersome side effects, inform your doctor or pharmacist.
