nostril daily. Do not use Nasonex more often or longer
than prescribed. Use Nasonex regularly during the

NASONEX PRECAUTIONS:
Tell your doctor your medical history, including:
any allergies, current infections, other nasal problems,
glaucoma, cataracts. Avoid exposure to chickenpox
or measles while using corticosteroids (e.g., mometasone,
prednisone), especially oral products. If exposed,
consult your doctor or pharmacist. Though very unlikely,
it is possible Nasonex will be absorbed into your
bloodstream. This may have undesirable consequences
that may require additional corticosteroid treatment.
This is especially true for children and for those
who have used this for an extended period if they
also have serious medical problems such as serious
infections, injuries or surgeries. This precaution
applies for up to one year after stopping use of Nasonex.

may affect growth patterns. Consult child's doctor.
