Monasal Indications/Uses

MONASAL is used in adults and children aged 2 and older to treat the symptoms of seasonal or perennial rhinitis.
To help prevent moderate to severe symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis, MONASAL may be used 2 to 4 weeks before the beginning of the pollen season.
In adults aged 18 and over, MONASAL is also used to treat nasal polyps.
MONASAL may also be used in adults and children 12 years of age and older for the treatment of symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis (inflammation and blockage of the sinuses behind the nose) without signs or symptoms of bacterial infection.
Seasonal and perennial rhinitis: Seasonal allergic rhinitis, which occurs at certain times of the year, is an allergic reaction caused by breathing in pollen from trees, grasses, weeds and also moulds and fungal spores. Perennial rhinitis occurs throughout the year and symptoms can be caused by a sensitivity to a variety of things including house dust mite, animal hair (or dander), feathers and certain foods. MONASAL reduces the swelling and irritation in the nose and so relieves sneezing, itching and a blocked-up or runny nose.
Nasal polyps: Nasal polyps are small growths on the lining of the nose and usually affect both nostrils. The main symptom is a blocked feeling in the nose which may affect breathing through the nose. Watering from the nose, a feeling of something running down the back of the throat and loss of taste and smell may also occur. MONASAL reduces the inflammation in the nose, causing the polyps to gradually shrink.
Acute rhinosinusitis: Mild to moderate uncomplicated acute rhinosinusitis without signs and symptoms of bacterial infection is the inflammation and blockage of the sinuses behind the nose.
Symptoms can include a stuffy or runny nose, feeling of something running down the back of the throat, and facial pressure or pain. MONASAL relieves these symptoms by reducing the inflammation in the nose.
