Nose allergy and eye allergy
Hi ,
I am facing nose blockage due to cold and eye allergy redness. I stay in remote village so I went to near by pharmacy and suggested me
mometasone furoate 50 mcg
Nasal spray twice a day for 1 month. I am using for 2 days but i feel some bitterness in throat.
Shall i continue nasal spray or it has any side effects ? And does it contain any steriod ?
Apart from this
Montelukast 10mg 1 tab a day for 1 month
Bilastine 40mg 1 tab a day for 1 month
Clarithromycin 500mg 2 tablets a day for 5 days
Do this tablets have any side effects can i continue it?

Mometasone furoate is a steroid but far better than orally consumed steroids. This is because of the dosage. These sprays have one thousandth the dose of an oral steroid tablet and are directed to the target site. Oral steroids are consumed, absorbed in blood stream and circulate all over the body therefore giving side effects elsewhere that may not be desirable.
This is why inhaled or nasal spray steroids are safe even in pregnant and lactating mothers suffering from asthma or allergies. There is a large cohort study done in Sweden that proves this fact.
