Active Ingredient: Mometasone
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Respiratory (Inhalation)
200 - 400 ug
From 200 To 400 ug once every day
The recommended starting dose for most of these patients is 400 micrograms once daily. Data suggest that better asthma control is achieved if once daily dosing is administered in the evening. Some patients may be more adequately controlled on 400 micrograms daily, given in two divided doses (200 micrograms twice daily).
The dose of mometasone 200 micrograms should be individualised and titrated to the lowest dose at which effective control of asthma is maintained. Dose reduction to 200 micrograms once daily given in the evening may be an effective maintenance dose for some patients.
Mild asthma: symptoms >1 time a week but <1 time per day; exacerbations may affect activity and sleep; night-time asthma symptoms >2 times a month; PEF or FEV1 >80% predicted, variability 20–30%.
Moderate asthma: symptoms daily; exacerbations affect activity and sleep; night-time asthma symptoms >1 time a week; daily use of short-acting beta2 –agonist; PEF or FEV1 >60 - <80% predicted, variability >30%.
