Mometasone spray(nasonex)
Is it harmful to use mometasone spray on daily basis for one whole year?
I had a surgery-turbinate and septoplasty.
My doctor suggested me to use that spray for one year. It has been around 8-9 months. Can I keep using it?
I have not experienced any side effects yet. But if I stop using it, I catch allergies.

Hello User,
Every medication you take have certain side effects may be less may be more... The steroid sprays when taken for long time generally seen to have local side effects like crusting, dryness of nose and bleeding... Both momatasone and fluticasone are not absorbed when given through this route and are considered safe.... Don't worry and follow your doctor's advice...
