Yes: Nasonex (mometasone) isn't a decongestant like sudafed, but rather an anti-inflammatory. With time your nasal membranes may heal enough that you don't need sudafed.

If you find the Sudafed-PE does not help your symptoms, ask the Pharmacist and show ID, for "regular" Sudafed, with pseudoephedrine.

Sinusitis: Yes it is fine to use Nasonex (mometasone) with sudafed - they work by different mechanisms and are often used together, .
