Routes of administration inhalation (nasal spray)

Nasonex is an allergic rhinitis treatment medication available by prescription. It is used to provide allergy sufferers relief from sinus inflammation and symptoms, including irritation, sneezing, itchy or runny nose, and congestion. It is administered as a nasal spray directly into the sinuses and this direct administration contributes to the medication being fast acting and a good choice for those who experience severe allergy attacks. Note that Nasonex generic will contain 40 fewer doses than the 140 that come in the branded Nasonex nasal spray bottle. Buy Nasonex from Canada and Canpharm and get the best price on it.
