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 inhibition of phospholipase A2, decreased prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppression of inflammatory cytokines.
2 sprays (50 mcg/spray) per nostril once daily; total dose 200 mcg/day.
Intramuscular: 40-80 mg every 4 weeks. Intra-articular: 5-40 mg depending on joint size. Topical: Apply thin film to affected area 2-4 times daily.

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 approximately 2-5 hours; but suppression of adrenal function (HPA axis) can persist for 7-30 days depending on dose and duration.
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, <5% unchanged); biliary/fecal (minor).
