MEDISTAT 1.25 Nasal Spray

MEDISTAT 1.25 Nasal Spray is a corticosteroid nasal spray used to manage allergy-related nasal symptoms and certain inflammatory conditions affecting the nose. It contains Mometasone Furoate (50mcg per spray), which helps reduce inflammation inside the nasal passages and provides relief from symptoms such as sneezing, nasal blockage, runny nose, and itching.

The spray is commonly prescribed for allergic rhinitis caused by seasonal or year-round allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold. It is also used in the management of nasal polyps and may help prevent the recurrence of allergy symptoms when used regularly as directed by a doctor.

Unlike decongestant nasal sprays, MEDISTAT 1.25 Nasal Spray works by controlling inflammation at its source, helping maintain long-term symptom relief.
