Mometasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activities.^1,2,3In vivo, mometasone (3 mg/kg) reduces pulmonary edema and neutrophil infiltration in a mouse model of chlorine-induced chemical lung injury.¹Intranasal administration of mometasone (0.2 µg/animal) reduces nose-rubbing behavior, sneezing, and nasal mucosal levels of IL-4 in a mouse model of allergic rhinitis.²Mometasone also reduces nasal mucosal epithelial destruction, fibrosis, and cilia loss in a rat model of rhinitis medicamentosa induced by oxymetazoline .
