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.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to modulation of gene expression and suppression of inflammatory mediators (e.g., prostaglandins, leukotrienes) and immune cell activity.
2 sprays (50 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; total dose 200 mcg/day.
20-60 mg intramuscularly or intra-articularly once daily as a single dose or divided every 6-12 hours; dose varies by indication and severity.

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.
Terminal half-life: 2-4 hours (plasma); clinical effects persist longer (18-36 hours) due to prolonged receptor occupancy and transcriptional effects.
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: primarily as metabolites, <20% unchanged; small fecal/biliary contribution.
