Drug Interactions
The risk of low potassium levels (hypokalaemia) is higher if you take this medicine with amphotericin B or potassium-wasting diuretics. It can also make antidiabetic drugs less effective at lowering blood sugar. Taking it with antifungal medicines (like imidazoles) can raise its levels in your blood. Using it with fluoroquinolones increases the chance of tendon problems.
Contraindications
Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.
Mode of actions
Mometasone reduces the production and activity of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, such as histamine and prostaglandins. It also stops immune cells from moving to the site of injury and helps blood vessels return to normal, which means fewer inflammatory cells can reach the injured area.
