Mometasone furoate nasal spray is generally well-tolerated, but some users experience side effects. These are usually mild and temporary. Common side effects include nosebleeds, headaches, and throat irritation. These typically resolve on their own, but contacting your doctor is advisable if they persist or worsen.
Rare but more serious side effects can occur, such as eye irritation, nasal dryness, and in very rare cases, allergic reactions such as rash or swelling. Immediate medical attention is required should you experience any severe reactions.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor about your complete medical history, including any existing conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, or weakened immune systems. Also, mention if you are taking other medications, as interactions can occur.
