Mometasone is used to alleviate inflammation and itchiness in skin conditions that respond to treatment with glucocorticoids such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
Some low-quality evidence suggests the use of mometasone for symptomatic improvement in children with adenoid hypertrophy.
In terms of steroid strength, it is more potent than hydrocortisone, and less potent than dexamethasone. Mometasone furoate is used in the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders (such as eczema and psoriasis) (topical form), allergic rhinitis (such as hay fever) (topical form), asthma (inhalation form) for patients unresponsive to less potent corticosteroids, and penile phimosis. In 2020, it was the 231st most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 1 million prescriptions. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Mometasone furoate was patented in 1981 and came into medical use in 1987. Common side effects when applied on the skin include acne, skin atrophy, and itchiness. Common side effects when used in the nose includes upper respiratory tract infections and nose bleeds. Long term use may increase the risk for glaucoma and cataracts. It is therefore recommended to rinse the mouth after use.
Ĭommon side effects when used for asthma includes asthma and thrush. Mometasone furoate, not mometasone, is used in medical products. It can be applied to the skin, inhaled, or used in the nose. Specifically it is used to prevent rather than treat asthma attacks. Mometasone, also known as mometasone y 3 s, is a steroid medication used to treat certain skin conditions, hay fever, and asthma.
