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.
Triacetin is a triester of glycerol and acetic acid. Its exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it exhibits antifungal activity by disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity and inhibiting fungal growth.
2 sprays (50 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; total dose 200 mcg/day.
0.5-1 mg orally three times daily; maximum dose 4 mg/day.

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 approximately 3.5–4 hours in adults with normal renal function; may be prolonged (up to 6–8 hours) in patients with hepatic impairment.
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, unchanged drug: <1% of dose; metabolites: approximately 20% in urine, remainder in feces via biliary elimination.
