Nasonex 24HR Allergy is an unscented nasal spray that can be used daily to relieve symptoms caused by hay fever as well as indoor, outdoor, seasonal, and year-round allergies.

Allergy symptoms that can be relieved by Nasonex products include nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and itchy nose.

Allergens cause the body to secrete certain chemicals, including histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, and cytokines.[i] The active ingredient of Nasonex 24HR Allergy is mometasone furoate monohydrate (glucocorticoid) 50 mcg. It works as an anti-inflammatory by blocking the release of these substances that cause allergy symptoms. Allergy pills containing only an antihistamine, for example, block only histamine.[ii]

Allergies occur when your immune system, which normally fights germs, reacts to a substance that does not bother most other people. The reaction is a false alarm. You could have allergic reactions to more than one substance. It’s possible that both your genetic makeup and your environment play a role in allergies. Typically, allergens that cause reactions include pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, food, insect stings, and medicines. Reactions may include runny nose, sneezing, itching, rashes, swelling or asthma. The reactions range from minor to severe.

Use one dose every 24 hours, based on age: adults and children 12 years of age and older: 2 sprays in each nostril once daily while sniffing gently; children 2 to 11 years of age: 1 spray in each nostril once daily while sniffing gently; children under 2 years of age: do not use. Children should use for the shortest amount of time necessary to achieve symptom relief. Talk to your child’s doctor if your child needs to use the spray for longer than two months a year.

No. Nasonex 24HR Allergy is a scent-free mist.

After a prescription medicine has been on the market long enough, the manufacturer is able to gather scientific information about its safety and effectiveness. If the medicine has proved to be safe and effective with many people, the manufacturer can apply to the federal Food and Drug Administration to allow the medicine to be marketed over the counter for use without a doctor’s prescription.

This gives consumers easier and less expensive access to medications for use as part of a self-care regimen. [iv]
