Mechanism of action

Mometasone furoate binds to glucocorticoid receptors in nasal tissue, inhibiting the production and release of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules. This reduces nasal inflammation, congestion, and mucus production. As a nasal spray (NS) formulation, it delivers the active corticosteroid directly to the site of inflammation with minimal systemic absorption.
