ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the effects of nasal mometasone furoate on oral and nasal nitric oxide (NO) production in patients with allergic rhinitis.@*METHOD@#Twenty-seven patients with moderate to severe symptoms of persistent allergic rhinitis were treated with mometasone furoate nasal spray (200 microg/d. qd) for 2 weeks. Nasal and oral exhaled nitric oxide concentrations, symptoms of rhinitis and quality of life were investigated before and after the treatment.@*RESULT@#There was a significant improvement in nasal exhaled nitric oxide concentrations, symptoms of rhinitis and quality of life, but not in oral exhaled nitric oxide concentrations. Subjective improvements in symptoms and quality of life did not correlate significantly with objective measurements.@*CONCLUSION@#Our study provides subjective and objective evidence on the efficacy of intranasal mometasone furoate in improving nasal symptoms and quality of life, as well as reducing nasal inflammation.
