Mometasone, also known as mometasone furoate, is a steroid medication used to treat certain skin conditions, hay fever, and asthma.[4][5][6] Specifically it is used to prevent rather than treat asthma attacks.[4] It can be applied to the skin, inhaled, or used in the nose.[4][5][6] Mometasone furoate, not mometasone is used in medical products.[7]
