The Effect of Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray on Blood Oxygenation in Allergic Rhinitis Patients

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a disease that presents with symptoms like nasal discharge, blockage, and itchiness, which impair the quality of life most patients depending on its severity. The common symptom in AR persistent bilateral may indirectly potentially affect airflow into lung. However, can be controlled using intranasal steroid spray (INS). This study investigated role obstruction lowering blood oxygenation how INS improved oxygenation. included 33 AR. Subjects moderate-to-severe were recruited based Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), mometasone furoate (MFNS) – two puffs twice day for weeks was given. Pre- post-medication parameters compared VAS, partial oxygen arterial pressure (PaO2), carbon dioxide (PaCO2), saturation (O2 saturation). All substantially different between pre- post-medication. PaO2, PaCO2, O2 significantly before after medicine (p<0.01). A comprehensive treatment MFNS helps improve patients.
