Mometasone furoate

Mometasone furoate is used in the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders (such as eczema[18] and psoriasis) (topical form), allergic rhinitis (such as hay fever) (topical form), asthma (inhalation form)[19][20] for patients unresponsive to less potent corticosteroids, and penile phimosis.[21] In terms of steroid strength, it is more potent than hydrocortisone, and less potent than dexamethasone.[22]

Some low-quality evidence suggests the use of mometasone for symptomatic improvement in children with adenoid hypertrophy.[23]

Mometasone is used to alleviate inflammation and itchiness in skin conditions that respond to treatment with glucocorticoids such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.[24][25]

Nasal mometasone is used in people over two years of age to diminish the symptoms of hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis) and other allergies (perennial rhinitis), including nasal congestion, discharge, pruritus, and sneezing and to treat nasal polyps.[4]

It is not useful for the common cold.[26]
