Nasonex should not be taken by individuals who are allergic to any component of the medication, including mometasone. People with untreated localized infections involving the nasal mucosa, and those with a history of hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any corticosteroids, should also avoid using it. Children under 2 years of age should not use Nasonex for the treatment of seasonal allergic or perennial rhinitis due to the lack of relevant safety and efficacy data. For those with existing respiratory tract infections or recent nasal surgery or trauma, consulting a healthcare professional before use is strongly advised.
