Scientific Evidence

Pharmacological effects: Mometasone furoate, a corticosteroid, exerts anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive effects by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators. It reduces nasal symptoms such as congestion, itching, and sneezing by suppressing the inflammatory response in the nasal mucosa.

Clinical trials: Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of mometasone furoate nasal spray in improving nasal symptoms and quality of life in patients with allergic rhinitis. Research by Meltzer et al. (2011) showed significant improvements in nasal congestion and sneezing compared to placebo.
