About Nasonex Nasal Spray Suspension 18 gm

Nasonex Nasal Spray Suspension 18 gm belongs to the class of medicines called ‘corticosteroids’ used to relieve symptoms of asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Nasonex Nasal Spray Suspension 18 gm contains Mometasone, a potent corticosteroid. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such substances are released normally.
