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.
Synthetic corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity; binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to suppress inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
2 sprays (50 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; total dose 200 mcg/day.
100 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 24 hours, then 50 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 48 hours, followed by 25 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 72 hours.

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 2.5–3.5 hours; clinically, this short half-life requires multiple daily dosing for sustained 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.
Primarily renal (80% as metabolites, 20% unchanged); minor biliary/fecal (<5%).
