Mometasone furoate is a synthetic corticosteroid medicine used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including allergies, eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the body’s immune system. Mometasone furoate is available in topical cream, ointment, foam, and spray forms. It is also used to treat nasal congestion due to allergies and to reduce inflammation in the lining of the nose. Mometasone furoate is generally safe when used as directed and may have fewer side effects than other corticosteroids.
