Propel is indicated for patients with chronic sinusitis who have undergone endoscopic sinus surgery. It helps maintain sinus patency, reduce post-surgical inflammation, and prevent recurrence of nasal polyps.
Propel is a small, spring-like implant that releases mometasone furoate, a corticosteroid, directly into the sinus tissue over approximately 30 days. This local delivery reduces inflammation and swelling in the nasal and sinus passages.
Propel is placed during or after sinus surgery by an ENT specialist. It dissolves naturally over time and does not require removal. Common side effects may include local irritation, headache, or epistaxis (nosebleeds). Patients should follow their surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully.
