Nasonex Mometasone

Mometasone, also known as mometasone furoate, is a steroid medication used to treat certain skin conditions, hay fever, and asthma.[5][6][7] Specifically it is used to prevent rather than treat asthma attacks.[5] It can be applied to the skin, inhaled, or used in the nose.[5][6][7] Mometasone furoate, not mometasone, is used in medical products.[8] Common side effect...

I was prescribed Nasonex for two months last autumn and am now reaping the benefits. I have constant nose bleeds and am now allergic the various things including paint. I am due to have cauterisation for damaged blood vessel which was caused by this drug. ## Hello, Paulie! How are you doing? I'm sorry about what you've experienced. Unfortunately, every medication carries the risk of possibly causing side effects and some long-term damage, it's just what happens when you add a chemical to the body to try to correct a problem. The FDA lists its other most common side effects as possibly including headache, taste disturbances, diarrhea and nausea. When are you having the procedure?

I have been using Nasonex for several weeks from july thru november 2012. Early in october I started having some problem at right eyes. Today, 9 january 2013 I have been diagnosed cataratta in both eyes and glaucoma caused by cortisone ## It is warned about as a possible side effect with using Nasonex. Learn more Nasonex details here. I am very sorry that it has happened to you. There have been quite a few posts from people that have all experienced the same thing. Do you know what your treatment options are, yet?

I have Nasonex for the past 3 years for allergy's and my eye doctor determined that it was from the allergy med that I had been on...I had surgery on the cataract and now have my vision back in my right eye and my left eye has one but it is not really bad yet. ## Wow, I had no idea allergy medication could cause cataracts as a side effect. I find it surprising that they do not list the potential for such serious conditions on their side effect label. Some details I gathered that may be helpful to you if you experience a serious side effect, is that, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch] or by phone [1-800-332-1088]. Reporting a medication's side effects to ...

Its funny how those drug companys can take a perfect human and trash them with there precriptions that have more side effects than anything. i noticed nasonex causes eye problems.the first question my eye doctor ask was ? does glucoma run in the family ? No ! after watching TV i know why I am a suspect for glucoma. I hate prescriptions , they are an easy death, the pills people take thinking there getting better when there not is B/S. ## Hi JD F, I can understand how you feel about prescription drugs and certainly agree with a lot of the points you made. According to the link below, changes in vision are a severe side effect of Nasonex: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000204/#a602024-sideEffects Are you experiencing side effects of glaucoma?

is fluticasone or nasonex contraindicated w/severe glaucoma or cataracts ## The medication Fluticasone "is not" contraindicated in patients with either of those conditions; however Nasonex "IS" contraindicated in patients with BOTH of those conditions.

I would like to know if you Can you use Nasonex while taken belviq ## Hello, Maia! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between them, but it's always best to double check to be sure. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Nasonex as possibly including headache, sore throat and flu-like symptoms. Belviq may cause side effects, such as headache, nausea, dizziness and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

In December I was diagnosed w/ cataracts in both eyes (I'm only 54). Two days ago I heard an ad on TV for Nasonex & it mentioned cataracts were a possible side effect. I used Nasonex for a few months a couple of years ago & I just bet it's the culprit behind my eye problems. Anyone else in the same boat as me? ## Nasonex may cause cataracts or glaucoma, or it can make these conditions worse, however, the problem you are going to have is the burden of proof. Do you have any medical evidence that will show that you got them from using the Nasonex and not due to some other reason? These legal suits don't really net anyone any money, other than the lawyers that are involved, if one does get filed and the only people that can get any type of recompense are those with proo...

I used nasonex only a short while, each time I used it, it made my eyes water and burn I then I got a fungel infection in my throat, then I got cataracs, but I have light blue green eyes and was told I would never be able to prove it was nasonex ## Then that is more than likely correct, while it is known to cause such damage it is very rare and usually results from long-term usage. It is very difficult to prove such things, unless the issue occurs immediately and a doctor corroborates the suspicion that it was caused by the medication. What treatments are you currently using?

i have taken the drug Nasonex and i havent suffered any eye troubles or anything of that nature but i was wondering if i should use it after the expiration date ## How long has it been since the expiration date? The shelf life of Nasonex is noted to be up to 3 years when stored below 25°C (77°F) in the manufacturer's original packaging material. If its been continuing to work for you even after the date, then I'd say it's fine to use. According to a Harvard Medical School family health article, except in rare cases (i.e. tetracycline), there is little chance of danger due to taking medications even up to 15 years beyond their expiration date. I don't know whether or not the drug you have happens to be one of the drugs from their study, but for your ...

I started taking Nasonex to help clear up an inner ear blockage. Within 30 minutes of taking the spaying it into both nostrils, I became completely fatigued, dizzy and disoriented. It was most noticeable as I stood up and began walking. It felt like something was wrong and I felt anxious and my heart was racing. I checked my blood pressure and blood sugar but they were both normal. I felt better the next morning. I sprayed each nostril in the morning without a noticeable side effect. So I figured that same evening it should be alright to continue. The same symptoms recurred from the previous night, and improved only slightly by bedtime. I slept well, but still feel some of the dizziness. Has anybody else had these side effects? ## Oh yes, I did experience this, and more, when I tried it...

my son is 11 yrs old started taken Nasonex when he was 9 yrs old and is now having eye probs!! not cool drugs should not be FDA aproved if they havenT BEEN STUDY long enough to really know if it cause other probs !! and now my son is a victum of this drug it needs to come off the market !! ## Nasonex, which is used to treat allergic rhinitis and other problems that cause nasal swelling, contains the active ingredient Mometasone, which is a steroid class medication. The only reported side effect that affects the eyes for people using this had been Conjunctivitis, also referred to as Pink Eye. Has his doctor definitively tied his vision problem to the use of the medication? Long-term use of some steroid class medications, has been linked to serious conditions of the eye, such as Glaucoma ...

I was perscribed nasonex about a month ago. About a week after taking it I got really ill with flu luke symptoms. Atfer the aches and pains in the body went away ive been left with dizziness and bad headaches. I stopped taking it a week ago and still have these symptoms. I also had the odd spell of blurry vision but haven't had that since I stopped taking it. I want to know how long my head is going to feel scrambled like this. Its very fustrating, my doctor never warned me about any side effects. Ive been learning to drive and got all these problems just before the test and felt awful on the day. I failed on one silly mistake, which possibly wouldn't have happened if I had a clear head. Basically nasonex has ruined me and stopped me being interested in my hobbies. When will I f...

My doctor prescribed Nasonex for a persistant cough, I only took it for approx one month and then noticed that from morning to night I was aware of a constant smell of fumes and a hightened smell of everything, especially detergents and room deoderisers, also a prickle feeling in my eyes. On returning to my GP she put me on Loratadine for two months, it is now two months on and I am no better. My life has been spoiled over the last three months, I am sucking peppermints all day long and eating as often as possible, I have put on 7 or 8 pounds and feel awful. I am returning to my GP next Monday. I am 73 years old. I wish I had never taken Nasonex and feel that if this and so many other side effects are possible it should be withdrawn. ## Hi Graham, Sorry to hear about your situation with...

I've been using half the prescribed dose (given by allergist) of Nasonex for past 4 days. I hadn't even considered the possibility of cataracts but I do have a swollen eye (never experienced before) and feel like I'm getting a sinus infection. I'm guessing my cold sore outbreak of 2 days ago was also due to the fact that this drug lowers the immune system (found that info on the Internet, certainly not from the doc). I'm done with this medical experiment! I'll start washing my nose out with saline instead. ## Hi, Rebecca! Sorry that is caused your problems. You are not the first one to post about such things and I am quite certain that you won't be the last. However, it's good that you were using only half the dose and for such a short time, when you foun...

Has anyone that has used Flonase got cataracts? I have them because of it and nasonex. Are there any class actions against the makers of this? I would not have used it if I had known. ## Have the doctors definitively tied your cataracts to the medications? We have had other posts on here about vision issues developing from people using these types of medications. The problem, however, is proving they are what caused it. And no, I'm sorry, but I know of no class action suits in regards to this. ## My eye surgeon said they were definately caused by steroids and the only one I have used is flonase. She said she could tell by the location of my cataracts, they are posterior and can only be caused by steroid use. If enough people have this kind, I would think it could be proven. ## i hav...

oval,white,ETHEX,208 ## This is an decongestant, used to treat colds. ## I was prescribed this pill along with Nasonex to help symptoms of congestion and sinus pressure with a heavy cold. My doctor told me it contains 'prescription strength Sudafed' (I assume that means it contains Pseudoephedrine HCl, but I don't know how much), plus an expectorant, that it should be safe to take while nursing but it may reduce milk supply temporarily - supplies should return normal after stopping the pills. I took one, and it did help the congestion, but no more than regular Sudafed (most Sudafed formulations contain 30mg Pseudoephedrine HCl).

My mother, recently deceased, was guessed to have an atypical onset of ALS which manifested only by slowly decreasing her ability to swallow and breathe. I am investigating all prescription meds she was taking to learn if there may have been an interaction or reaction that triggered her fatal illness. StriVectin-SD, Zetia, Aspirin, Nexium, Nasonex are only the ones I know of at this time...

I WAS USING WARREN BRAND ALBUTEROL INHALERS. AND THESE WERE REPLACED WITH ASTHALIN INHALER, I AM NOT FEELING THE SAME LEVEL OF RELIEF NOW. WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS. I ALSO USE ADVAIR FOR LONG TERM. I HAVE NOTICED THIS WITHIN THE THREE WEEKS OF USE. TODAY I USED ASTHALIN TWICE AND MY CHEST STILL FELT TIGHT AFTER 20 MINUTES. I CAME HOME AND DID AN ALBUTEROL NEBULIZER TREATMENT. I ALSO USED NASONEX THIS MORNING. ## Hi Joe, There is really no way a doctor can know ahead of time how any medication can affect anyone. They can only assume that the new medication they prescribed you will be effective based on medical records, current health, age, what the condition is, whether or not any other medications are being taken at the same time, etc. Any of these factors as well as others can affect...
