Dosage Guide

Quick Answer

The standard adult dose of Mometasone Nasal Spray is typically 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Regular daily use is essential — full effect comes after 1–2 weeks. Correct technique is important: spray toward the outer wall, not toward the nasal septum. Always follow the doctor's prescription.

Correct Technique (Sahi Tarika — Bahut Zaroori)

Step	Action
1	Gently shake the bottle
2	Prime if new or not used recently
3	Tilt the head slightly forward
4	Angle the nozzle toward the outer wall — NOT toward the nasal septum
5	Breathe in gently — avoid hard sniffing

Why it matters: Spraying toward the septum can cause nasal septal perforation.

Overdose

Overdose is practically impossible at standard nasal doses (very low systemic absorption). If an accidental overdose occurs or any unusual side effect appears, consult your doctor.
