Summary

Mometasone is an inhaled corticosteroid and a nasal corticosteroid. The inhaled steroid is called Asmanex by brand name and the nasal version is Nasonex.



Nasonex is primarily used in the management of allergic rhinitis and can help with nasal congestion type symptoms.



Remember that nasal mometasone takes a little while to have its full effect. It can take up to a week or two to provide its maximum benefit.



Systemic absorption of both nasal and oral inhalation mometasone is very low at less than 1%.
