Randomized Controlled TrialOnce-daily evening administration of mometasone furoate in asthma treatment initiation.
In a previous study, a 200-microg once-daily evening dose of mometasone furoate dry powder inhaler (DPI) was effective in patients with asthma previously taking inhaled corticosteroids. No studies have been conducted to test the effect of a once-daily evening dose in patients previously using only short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists (SABAs) for symptom relief. ⋯ Mometasone furoate DPI (200 microg) administered once daily in the evening significantly improves pulmonary function in patients previously using SABAs alone for asthma control.
