Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist; inhibits inflammatory mediators including cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules; reduces nasal inflammation.
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, leading to modulation of gene expression and suppression of inflammatory cytokines, immune responses, and adrenal function.
2 sprays (50 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; total dose 200 mcg/day.
5-60 mg orally once daily or divided as 5-15 mg every 4-12 hours; adjust based on response and condition.

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.
4-5 hours (terminal); prolonged in renal impairment (up to 12+ hours in anuria) and hepatic dysfunction; clinical context: dosing interval adjustment in severe renal failure
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.
Renal: approximately 60-80% as unchanged drug and conjugated metabolites; biliary/fecal: minor (5-10%)
