Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties; suppresses multiple inflammatory cytokines and induces lipocortin synthesis.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist; inhibits inflammatory mediators including cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules; reduces nasal inflammation.
Intravenous: Initial dose 100-250 mg, then repeat every 10-30 minutes as needed. Intramuscular: 100-250 mg every 10-30 minutes. Intra-articular: 10-40 mg per joint every 1-2 weeks.
2 sprays (50 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; total dose 200 mcg/day.

Terminal half-life ~2-3 hours; clinically, adrenal suppression may persist >24h.
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.
Renally eliminated: ~80% as metabolites, <10% unchanged. Biliary/fecal: minor.
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.
