Mechanism of Action

Megaspray Spray belongs to a class of medications known as corticosteroids. It works by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages, which helps relieve symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis. Mometasone, the active ingredient in Megaspray Spray, acts by inhibiting the release of inflammatory substances in the body, thereby reducing nasal congestion, itching, and sneezing.

Serious side effects are rare but can occur. These may include signs of allergic reaction (such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing) or changes in vision. If you experience any of these serious side effects, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.
