Contraindication Notes:
Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of this preparation contraindicates its use.
Mometasone Furoate monohydrate is a corticosteroid demonstrating antiinflammatory properties. The precise mechanism of corticosteroid action on allergic rhinitis is not known. Corticosteroids have been shown to have a wide range of effects on multiple cell types (eg, mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes) and mediators (eg, histamines, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, and cytokines) involved in inflammation. Protein binding for Mometasone Furoate was reported to be 98% to 99% in concentration range of 5 to 500 ng/mL.The effective plasma elimination half life of Mometasone Furoate is 5.8 hours.
There are no drug interactions of note with Mometasone Furoate.
Side effects are generally mild and included headache, viral infection, sore throat, nosebleeds, and coughing.
There are no data available on the effects of acute or chronic overdosage with Mometasone. Because of low systemic bioavailability, and an absence of acute drugrelated systemic findings in clinical studies, overdose is unlikely to require any therapy other than observation.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Mometasone Furoate, like other corticosteroids, should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits justify the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known if Mometasone Furoate is excreted in human milk. Because other corticosteroids are excreted in human milk, caution should be used when Mometasone is administered to nursing women.
While using nasal corticosteroids, caution is required in patients with active or dormant tuberculous infection, or in untreated fungal, bacterial, systemic viral infections, or ocular herpes simplex.
