Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Mometasone is used intranasally in the management of asthma, allergic rhinitis and nasal polyposis, and topically for allergic skin disorders. Prescribed formulations contain mometasone furoate (PubChem CID 441336). A fixed-dose combination of indacaterol/glycopyrrolate/mometasone furoate (QVM149, Enerzair® Breezhaler®) has completed Phase 3 evaluation as a once-daily therapy for uncontrolled asthma [1]. Results confirmed non-inferiority to twice-daily salmeterol/fluticasone high-dose + tiotropium, and using a medium-dose had comparable efficacy but at a corresponding lower steroid dose. |
