An Introduction to Asmanex Side Effects
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with
Asmanex® (
mometasone inhaler). However, not everyone who takes this medicine will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it well. When side effects do occur, in most cases they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Asmanex. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Asmanex side effects with you.)
Common Asmanex Side Effects
Asmanex has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. In these studies, the side effects that occur in a group of people taking the drug are documented and are then compared to side effects that occur in another group of people not taking the medicine.

In these studies, the most common side effects of Asmanex included:
- Headaches -- in up to 22 percent of people
