Mometasone furoate may interact with other medicines; review the following categories.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole) – may increase systemic exposure. - Live vaccines – risk of reduced vaccine efficacy. - Systemic corticosteroids – additive immunosuppressive effects. - Ritonavir – may elevate mometasone levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antifungal agents (e.g., itraconazole) – potential increase in exposure. - Antiretrovirals (e.g., efavirenz) – may alter metabolism. - Diuretics (e.g., furosemide) – monitor electrolyte balance. - Antihistamines – may mask local irritation symptoms.
