Effectiveness
How Mometasone Furoate Affects PatientsMometasone is a synthetic corticosteroid that is very effective in reducing inflammation. It is 22 times more potent than dexamethasone and has a lower affinity for mineralocorticoid receptors than natural corticosteroids, making it more targeted in its action. Mometasone furoate is able to pass through cell membranes, which activates the pathways that reduce inflammation.
How Mometasone Furoate works in the bodyMometasone works to treat asthma by preventing cells like mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils from releasing inflammation-causing substances like histamine and leukotrienes. It also stops cytokines from being released. Mometasone binds to cells more strongly than other corticosteroids, which helps the body to control inflammation. It does this by changing how the glucocorticoid receptor works, which then blocks certain proteins from causing inflammation. Mometasone also blocks transcription factors that activate inflammation in the body.

Mometasone Furoate Toxicity & Overdose RiskTaking too much mometasone furoate using an inhaler may cause long-term side effects such as high levels of cortisol and adrenal suppression. Animal studies have found that this drug can cause harm to unborn babies, so pregnant patients should be aware of the risks. It is not known if mometasone furoate is present in breast milk, so caution should be used when giving this drug to nursing mothers. Clinical trials have been conducted in pediatric patients and found that it is safe and effective, though growth may be reduced depending on the dose and duration of treatment. Elderly people may react differently to the drug and
