Mometasone nose spray... other brand than Nasonex?

[Aurelien]

Hello all, 

 

Very specific post but, I went to a doctor who prescribed a nose spray with mometasone ('Nasa spray', Berlin brand) some time ago. When i go shopping in pharmacies, they ever only have the Nasonex brand which is kind of (more) expensive. Wondering if any nose spray experts here know about a potential other 'Thai' brand that contains mometasone? I've been to at least 10 different pharmacies, big or small in Chiang Mai (Boots included)

There are at least 3 Thai brands.

 

See this thread for details of large pharmacies in Chiang Mai. Dara Pharmacey and Peera pharmacy in particular are recommended.

Boots is not really a pharmacy in Thailand, sells mainly cosmetics and tolietries. Never a good choice.  Stick to large Thai pharmacies like Peera and Sara and others mentioned in the above thread.

Not in Chiang Mai, but the local pharmacist I trade with (it's a franchise) regularly can order most anything and have it in a few days. She's also good at recommending generic alternatives.

I get a generic mometasone nose spray (NOT Nasonex, it's half the price) from at least one chemist in Chiang Mai - the one next to Rim Ping in Kad Falang for instance. Why pay more for eaxactly the same substance?

Ask Google for Mometadsone in Thailand.

You'll see it's even available at Lazada for a few Baht.🙏

You're right, sorry. It's mentioned on Lazada but not showing. So, please try a Pharmacy.

I'm certainly not an expert or even a healthcare professional, but I procure 2 types of nasal spray at the local pharmacies here in Jomtien. The 1st type is Phindroz with the mentioned 0.05% Oxymetazoline (oxymetazoline) and the 2nd type is Nasol with 0.1% naphazoline and 0.25% chlorpheniramine.  They seem to do the trick for me although they sometimes raise the blood pressure a little but they are available locally.

Good luck with your search.

Why is this being prescribed? What is your problem. Mometasone is for skin irritations and rash.

It is also used, in nasal spray form, for a variety of allergic/inflammatory nasal conditions.

I think your choice may be between travelling a bit to get less expensive brand or paying more to get it closer to home.

 

I checked a number of online pharmacies but none had local generic brand listed.
