Overview

Mometasone furoate is a synthetic nonfluorinated corticosteroid.

Olopatadine hydrochloride is a relatively selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist; the drug also shares many of the pharmacologic effects of mast-cell stabilizers.

Mometasone furoate, a synthetic corticosteroid, is an anti-inflammatory agent. Although the exact mechanism(s) of action of corticosteroids in the treatment of allergic rhinitis is not known, mometasone has been shown to inhibit the expression of inflammatory mediators by cells involved in both the early and late phases of the allergic response. Following 12 months of therapy with mometasone furoate (200 mcg daily) in patients with allergic rhinitis, a marked reduction in intraepithelial eosinophilia and infiltration of inflammatory cells (e.g., eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, plasma cells) in nasal mucosa was observed.

Mometasone furoate has a reported bioavailability of less than 0.1% and is virtually undetectable in plasma following administration of a single 400-mcg intranasal dose in healthy adults.

Mometasone furoate is commercially available as the monohydrate; dosage is calculated on the anhydrous basis.

USES: This product is used to relieve seasonal allergy symptoms of the nose such as stuffy/runny nose, itching, sneezing, and post-nasal drip. It contains 2 drugs. Olopatadine is an antihistamine that works by blocking certain natural substances called histamines that are responsible for allergic symptoms.
