About Megaspray Spray

Megaspray Spray is used to treat seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis symptoms. It is also used to treat nasal polyps (painless, noncancerous growths on the lining of the nose or sinuses) in adults aged 18 years and above. Seasonal allergic rhinitis, commonly called hay fever, mostly occurs in the summer, spring, or early fall. Perennial allergic rhinitis affects people throughout the year and can be triggered by mould, cockroach or dust mite droppings, pet dander, and saliva. 

Megaspray Spray contains mometasone, which gets absorbed into the cells of the nasal lining and works by inhibiting these cells from releasing chemicals that trigger inflammatory and allergic reactions. Thus, it helps to relieve sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort.

Use Megaspray Spray as prescribed. You are advised to use Megaspray Spray for as long as your doctor has recommended it based on your medical condition. Sometimes Megaspray Spray may cause common side effects such as headache, nose bleeds, sore throat or nose, sneezing, or ulcers in the nose. Most of these side effects of Megaspray Spray do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Mometasone or other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Megaspray Spray. Megaspray Spray is recommended for children aged three years and above to treat seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and is used to treat nasal polyps in children aged 18 years and above.
