How to use it ?
To use Metaspray 50mcg, shake the bottle gently and remove the cap. Tilt your head slightly forward and insert the nozzle into one nostril while closing the other. Spray once while breathing in gently through the nose. Repeat in the other nostril if prescribed.
Avoid blowing your nose immediately after use. Rinse the nozzle regularly to maintain hygiene. Use it daily at the same time for best results, as directed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
How dose it works ?
Metaspray 50mcg contains Mometasone Furoate, a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages. When sprayed into the nose, it blocks the release of inflammatory substances like histamines and cytokines that cause allergy symptoms.
This helps decrease swelling, mucus production, and irritation, providing relief from nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose. It acts locally in the nose with minimal absorption into the bloodstream, making it both effective and safe for long-term use under medical supervision.
