According to an analysis of pooled data from four clinical studies, Nasonex provides effective relief of the nasal congestion often associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis. The results demonstrated that even patients with the most severe congestion saw significant improvement while taking Nasonex.
Nasal congestion is the most bothersome symptom for patients with allergic rhinitis, according to a national patient survey of the disease.
The survey of over 2,000 respondents showed that nasal congestion is the number-one symptom they want to prevent and is the most likely symptom to trigger a visit to the doctor for relief.
“According to the analysis, patients taking Nasonex experienced significantly greater improvement in nasal congestion over the two-week period compared with those receiving placebo,” said Dr William Berger, a clinical professor at the University of California, and lead researcher in the study.
