Is Mometasone 50mcg Nasal Spray effective for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps? Pros, cons, and side effects?

Be careful with the spray. Make sure you shake the bottle well before using it, especially the first time. If you don't, you might not get the right dose. Also, make sure to clean the nozzle regularly to avoid any buildup. It’s a bit of a hassle, but it’s worth it if the spray works for you. I found it's important to use the spray once or twice a day.

My doctor also recommended for me to use a humidifier at night to keep my nasal passages moist while I was using Mometasone nasal spray. It was really helpful and I hope it helps you as well!

I had to stop using Mometasone because it gave me terrible nosebleeds. I tried using it for a few weeks, but it just wasn't worth it for me. I wish I could have stuck with it, but it was too uncomfortable. I also experienced headaches and had some trouble breathing. I'm not sure if that was related, or something else, but I thought I should mention it. Hopefully, you have a better experience!

I found that Mometasone helped a lot with my allergies, but it didn't do much for my nasal polyps. I ended up needing surgery to remove them, but the spray definitely helped manage my allergy symptoms. It's tough to say if it's worth the side effects, but for me, it was a good trade-off. I barely had any side effects, so I think it's worth a shot if you're struggling with allergies or nasal polyps. Just make sure to talk to your doctor about it first.

I've been using it for a while now, and I haven't experienced any of the urgent side effects mentioned. Just the occasional nosebleed, but nothing major. My doctor recommended using it regularly, and it's definitely helped with my nasal polyps. My doctor advised using the spray daily to see improvement. I realized that if I stopped using the spray, the symptoms would come back. I hope that helps.

I don't get it. Why to use steroid nasal spray for nasal polyps? Mometasone isn't supposed to shrink the polyps themselves. Why not just get surgery?

I had a similar problem, a nasal polyp and nasal passage swelling, and I went in for a surgery where they cleared everything out. The doctor then recommended using this spray along with allergy shots, and I was much better in just a few months. You could also try that.

I'm really hoping this works for me. I've tried everything else, and nothing has helped. Fingers crossed!

I've been using Mometasone for about six months now, and it's been a game-changer. I used to wake up with a stuffed nose every day, but now I can breathe much better. The spray doesn't work like some antihistamines that provide immediate relief. It takes a few days to see improvements, but it's totally worth it if you use it regularly. I had a nosebleed once, but that was about it for side effects. Just make sure to read the instructions carefully and follow them. If you experience any of the urgent side effects, don't hesitate to call your doctor. It's better to be safe!
