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.
Binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, inhibiting protein synthesis by blocking peptide bond formation and translocation.
2 sprays (50 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; total dose 200 mcg/day.
Adults: 1 gram intravenously every 8 hours infused over 60 minutes.

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 elimination half-life is 8-12 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 18-24 hours in moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30-50 mL/min).
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 excretion of unchanged drug accounts for approximately 95% of elimination; biliary/fecal elimination is minimal (<5%).
