Mometasone, also referred to as mometasone furoate, is a corticosteroid used to treat asthma, hay fever, and several skin problems. Instead of managing asthma attacks, mometasone furoate is used primarily to prevent them. By inhibiting infection-fighting white blood cells (WBCs) from reaching the affected area, it reduces inflammation, itching, and redness. Additionally, it inhibits the chemical messenger (histamine) that is accountable for body's allergic reactions. Symptoms of a variety of skin allergies as well as other allergic diseases like hay fever and allergic rhinitis are effectively treated by mometasone furoate.
