Let's take a minute to talk about your medication.  

This is Nasonex, and it contains 50 mcg per spray. You should shake it well before each use. It is important to avoid spraying the medication directly onto the wall between your two nostrils.  

Nasonex is used to prevent or treat nasal irritation often caused by allergies, like congestion or itching.  You'll probably feel better soon, but it can take two weeks for full effects to occur. It can also treat nasal polyps.  

Nasonex is usually well-tolerated, but some side effects can occur, like headache, a minor nose bleed, sore throat or cough. This is normal and should go away. But, if these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking this medication, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist.  

You could be more susceptible to infections, like chickenpox and measles, so avoid people who are contagious. But, let your doctor know right away if you were exposed.  

Also, notify your doctor if you notice red or white patches in your throat, changes in your vision, or if your nose has a sore or injury. 

For best results, take Nasonex as prescribed, and follow your doctor's advice for regular check-ups to make sure this dose remains best for you.
