Mometasone, also known as mometasone furoate, is a steroid (specifically, a glucocorticoid) medication used to treat certain skin conditions, hay fever, and asthma.[10][11][12] Specifically it is used to prevent rather than treat asthma attacks.[10] It can be applied to the skin, inhaled, or used in the nose.[10][11][12] Mometasone furoate, not mometasone, is used in medical products.[13]

Common side effects when used for asthma include headache, sore throat, and thrush.[10] It is therefore recommended to rinse the mouth after use.[10] Long-term use may increase the risk for glaucoma and cataracts.[10] Common side effects when used in the nose include upper respiratory tract infections and nose bleeds.[12] Common side effects when applied on the skin include acne, skin atrophy, and itchiness.[11] It works by decreasing inflammation.[10]

Mometasone furoate was patented in 1981 and came into medical use in 1987.[14] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines[15] and is available as a generic medication.[16][17] In 2022, it was the 311th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 200,000 prescriptions.[18]
