Drug Mode of Action ::  

Mometasone depresses the formation, release and activity of endogenous inflammatory chemical mediators (e.g. kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes and prostaglandin). It inhibits the margination and subsequent cell migration to the injury site, reverses vascular dilatation and permeability, resulting in decreased access of cells to the area of injury.

Drug Interactions ::

Increased risk of hypokalaemia with amphotericin B, potassium-wasting diuretics. Decreases hypoglycaemic effects of antidiabetic drugs. Increased serum levels with antifungals (imidazole). Increased risk of tendinopathies with fluoroquinolones.
