Pregnant, Suffering From Running Nose Due To Allergy. Safe To Use Nasonex? Have Sinus Issues

Is it safe to use Nasonex during pregnancy? I'm 24 weeks pregnant and suffering from runny nose- "allergies". Tired of blowing my nose every 20 minutes through-out the day. I have a sample of Nasonex that my Dr. gave to me before I got pregnant, haven't used it but curious to know If I can. Do you recommend anything else if I can't use Nasonex. I have bad sinus issues. Just wan't to stop sneezing and blowing my nose because it's giving me a headache - plus going through so much tissue.

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
No it is not safe to use in pregnancy untill benefit outweigh the risks.
Nasonex nasal spray contains the active ingredient mometasone, which is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid (or steroid)

This medicine is not recommended for use in pregnancy unless the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any risk to the developing baby.
Seek medical advice from your doctor.
Please consult your ENT Surgeon and alternative can be given for your relief.
Hope this helps.
Take care
Good Luck.
