Abstract
We investigated the effects of monotherapy with mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) in patients with perennial allergic rhinitis whose symptoms were not adequately improved by the treatment with antihistamines. After two or four weeks of administration of MFNS, the nasal symptoms (nasal discharge, sneezing, nasal discharge, and nasal stuffiness) significantly improved, The Japanese Allergic Rhinitis Standard Questionnaire (JRQLQ) showed that the patients' general state and 7 of 17 categories significantly improved. Moreover, a patient questionnaire regarding the usability of MFNS resulted in a good evaluation. These results suggested that MFNS might be useful for the improvement of nasal symptoms and QOL in patients with perennial allergic rhinitis whose symptoms are not adequately improved by treatment with antihistamines.
