Mometasone Teva (Mometasone Furoate)

Mometasone furoate, the active ingredient in Mometasone Teva, is a corticosteroid presented as a nasal spray for intranasal use. It treats allergic and non‑allergic rhinitis and is used as adjunct therapy for nasal polyposis in adults.

GNH USA supplies Mometasone Teva as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Mometasone furoate is an intranasal corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the nasal passages.

Allergic rhinitis: alleviates nasal congestion, itching, and sneezing. Non‑allergic rhinitis: reduces nasal inflammation and discharge. Nasal polyposis (adjunct therapy): helps shrink polyps and improves nasal airflow.

Mometasone furoate may cause local and systemic adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Nasal irritation or burning sensation - Epistaxis (nosebleeds) - Headache - Throat irritation or dryness - Cough - Altered taste or smell

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Nasal septal perforation - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) - Vision changes such as cataracts or glaucoma - Adrenal suppression with prolonged use - Opportunistic fungal infection of the nasal cavity

Before using Mometasone nasal spray, consider the following precautions.

Assess for active nasal infection: avoid use if untreated bacterial, viral, or fungal infection is present. Avoid prolonged use without medical review: limit duration to the prescribed period. Monitor for signs of adrenal suppression: especially in children or with high‑dose regimens. Use with caution in patients with glaucoma or cataracts: may increase intra‑ocular pressure. Do not exceed recommended dose: follow prescriber instructions. Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and heat.

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

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole) may increase systemic corticosteroid exposure. - Concurrent systemic corticosteroids can amplify systemic side effects. - Live vaccines may have reduced efficacy while using intranasal steroids.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Nasal decongestants may increase local irritation when used together. - Antihistamines may produce additive sedative effects in sensitive individuals. - Antifungal agents used intranasally may alter local flora and affect tolerability.
