Nasospray Dosage/Direction for Use

After initial priming of the NASOSPRAY (Mometasone Furoate Aqueous Nasal Spray) pump, each actuation delivers approximately 100 mg of mometasone furoate suspension, containing mometasone furoate monohydrate equivalent to 50 micrograms mometasone furoate.
Posology: Seasonal or Perennial Rhinitis: Adults (including geriatric patients) and adolescents: The usual recommended dose for prophylaxis and treatment is two sprays (50 micrograms/spray) in each nostril once daily (total dose 200 micrograms). Once symptoms are controlled, dose reduction to one spray in each nostril (total dose 100 micrograms) may be effective for maintenance.
If symptoms are inadequately controlled, the dose may be increased to a maximum daily dose of four sprays in each nostril once daily (total dose 400 micrograms). Dose reduction is recommended following control of symptoms.
Clinically significant onset of action occurs as early as 12 hours after the first dose.
Children between the ages of 2 and 11 years: The usual recommended dose is one spray (50 micrograms/spray) in each nostril once daily (total dose 100 micrograms).
Administration to young children should be aided by an adult.

Method of administration: Prior to administration of the first dose, shake container well and actuate the pump 10 times (until a uniform spray is obtained). If the pump is not used for 14 days or longer, reprime the pump with 2 actuations until a uniform spray is observed, before next use.
Shake container well before each use. The bottle should be discarded after the labelled number of actuations or within 2 months of first use.
