Living With Nasal Allergies
Every month you suffer, NASONEX® helps provide powerful relief for indoor and outdoor nasal allergy symptoms. Ask your doctor if NASONEX® is right for you.
Living with nasal allergy symptoms—like congestion, sneezing, and an itchy or runny nose—means managing them so they're not managing you. The first step in dealing with your nasal allergy symptoms is determining which allergens are triggers for you.
Nasal allergy triggers can be found both indoors and outdoors, and can be year-round or seasonal. It's important to be aware of the times of day, seasons, places, and situations where your nasal allergy symptoms begin or worsen. If you can identify your triggers, and create a plan for avoiding them, you may be able to minimize symptoms.
Of course, it's difficult to avoid allergens completely. If you've taken steps to reduce your exposure, and are still bothered by nasal allergy symptoms, talk with your doctor. Your doctor can explain the treatment options available that may help you find some relief.

For the treatment of seasonal and perennial nasal allergy symptoms...
NASONEX® is a prescription nasal allergy spray approved for the treatment of seasonal and perennial nasal allergy symptoms in adults and children 2 years of age and older. Taken just once a day as directed by your doctor, NASONEX® helps relieve nasal allergy symptoms. These symptoms are itchy nose, runny nose, sneezing and congestion. NASONEX® helps by treating nasal allergy symptoms caused by dust mites, pet dander, even tree and grass pollen. Improvement can occur within 11 hours of initial treatment (based on studies done in a park during the pollen season and in a controlled pollen exposure room). The maximum benefit of NASONEX® is usually achieved within 1 to 2 weeks.
To help prevent most seasonal nasal allergy symptoms...
NASONEX® is the only prescription nasal spray clinically proven and FDA-approved to help prevent most seasonal nasal allergy symptoms in adults and children 12 years and older in addition to treating them once they occur. To help prevent most seasonal nasal allergy symptoms before they start, begin treatment 2 to 4 weeks before the anticipated start of the pollen season. It is important that you take NASONEX® regularly at the time recommended by your doctor, since its effectiveness depends on regular use.
And treatment of nasal polyps...
NASONEX® is proven effective to treat nasal polyps in patients 18 years and older.
