Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory action; inhibits release of inflammatory mediators (e.g., histamine, leukotrienes), reduces eosinophil migration, and stabilizes mast cells. Suppresses cytokine production and adhesion molecule expression.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist; inhibits inflammatory mediators including cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules; reduces nasal inflammation.
50 mcg per nostril twice daily (total daily dose 200 mcg), via nasal spray.
2 sprays (50 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; total dose 200 mcg/day.

Terminal elimination half-life is 1.8 hours (range 1.3–2.5 h) after intravenous administration; clinically, endogenous suppression persists up to 24 h post-inhalation.

The terminal elimination half-life of mometasone furoate is approximately 5.8 hours. This short half-life supports once-daily dosing for intranasal use, but systemic accumulation is minimal with topical administration.
Renal (50%) as metabolites, fecal (40%) as metabolites via bile, <5% unchanged in urine.
Mometasone furoate is predominantly eliminated via biliary/fecal excretion. After intravenous administration, approximately 74% of the dose is recovered in feces and about 8% in urine. The drug undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism, and metabolites are excreted primarily in bile.
