Instructions

The list of adverse events below is based on data from clinical studies in seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, as well as data from post-registration use of individual components of the drug.

Seasonal allergic rhinitis

In a clinical study conducted in 560 patients aged 12 to 65 years with seasonal allergic rhinitis, 282 patients received azelastine hydrochloride + mometasone furoate nasal spray for an average of 14.94 days.

Overall, the safety profile of azelastine hydrochloride + mometasone furoate nasal spray was comparable to the profiles of the individual components used as monotherapy in the study, and was also consistent with the available published data on monotherapy with the individual components of the combination. A total of 18 adverse events associated with the use of azelastine hydrochloride + mometasone furoate nasal spray were reported in 11 of 282 patients. The most common adverse events recorded in the study were headache (5 cases) and dysgeusia (5 cases). Other adverse events were drowsiness (3 cases), lethargy (2 cases), nausea (1 case), dyspepsia (1 case) and sneezing (1 case). Most of these adverse events were mild in severity, and no serious adverse events were reported during the study.

In another clinical study conducted on 220 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, 55 patients received azelastine hydrochloride + mometasone furoate nasal metered spray, 1 spray in each nostril twice a day in the morning and evening, 55 patients received azelastine hydrochloride + nasal metered spray. mometasone furoate 2 injections into each nostril once a day, 55 patients dosed spray mometasone furoate and 55 patients dosed spray azelastine hydrochloride. The duration of treatment with these drugs was 14 days. During the entire study period, adverse events were identified in 51 participants (23%). During the study, the following adverse events were noted: drowsiness (0.9%), bitter taste in the mouth (3.6%), headache (2.7%), nosebleeds (1.8%), burning sensation in the nose after application (9.5%), sneezing after use (4.1%), increased appetite (0.5%), dry nose (4.1%), abnormalities in tests (0.9%), swelling of the mucous membrane nose (0.5%), nasal congestion (0.5%), rhinorrhea (0.9%), sinus arrhythmia (0.9%), redness of the hands (red spots) (0.5%), dry eyes ( 0.5%), hemorrhagic exanthema (0.5%), abnormal urinalysis (0.5%), swelling of the eyelids (0.5%), burning sensation in the eye area (0.5%) and loss of smell ( 0.5%). Mild adverse events accounted for 74.5%, and moderate adverse events accounted for 25.5% of the total number of adverse events.

Year-round allergic rhinitis

In a clinical study conducted in 150 patients with perennial allergic rhinitis, 75 patients received azelastine hydrochloride nasal metered spray + mometasone furoate, and 75 patients received combination therapy with azelastine hydrochloride nasal metered spray and mometasone furoate nasal metered spray from different devices. The duration of treatment with these drugs was 28 days. During the entire study period, 51 adverse events were reported in 23 of 150 patients (15.33%). The most common adverse events reported in the study were headache (10 cases), nosebleeds (6 cases), excessive sneezing (5 cases), and mucosal burning sensation (4 cases). Most adverse events were mild or moderate in severity, and no serious adverse events were reported during the study. A comparative analysis of the observed adverse events in the groups revealed no differences between the groups. During the study, 94.74% (18/19) of mild adverse events and 5.26% (1/19) of moderate adverse events were observed in the group of patients receiving azelastine hydrochloride + mometasone furoate nasal dosed spray.

The following are adverse drug events reported with the use of individual components of the fixed-dose combination.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adverse events are classified based on systemic organ classes according to the frequency of their development as follows:

very often - ≥ 1/10; often - from ≥ 1/100 to infrequently - from ≥ 1/1000 to rarely - from ≥ 1/10000 to very rarely - frequency unknown - it is not possible to determine the frequency of occurrence based on available data.

Azelastine hydrochloride

Often:

after use, a substance-specific bitter taste may be felt (often due to improper use, namely by excessively tilting the head back during use), which in rare cases can cause nausea.

Infrequently:

Mild, transient irritation of the inflamed nasal mucosa may occur, with symptoms such as burning, itching, sneezing and nosebleeds.

Very rarely:

Hypersensitivity reactions (such as rash, itching, urticaria), anaphylactoid reactions, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, weakness (may be due to the disease itself) have been reported.

Mometasone furoate

Adverse events associated with the use of the drug (≥1%) identified during clinical trials in patients with allergic rhinitis or nasal polyposis, and during post-registration use of the drug, regardless of the indication for use, are presented below. The overall incidence of adverse events in patients treated for acute rhinosinusitis was comparable to the incidence in patients with allergic rhinitis and placebo.

Nosebleeds, as a rule, were moderate and stopped on their own, the frequency of their occurrence was slightly higher than when using placebo (5%), but equal or less than when prescribing other intranasal corticosteroids, which were used as an active control (in some of In them, the incidence of nosebleeds was up to 15%). The incidence of all other adverse events was comparable to that observed with placebo.

special instructions

When Momat ointment or is applied to large areas of the skin surface for a long time or under a bandage, there is a possibility of developing symptoms of suppression of the functions of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system or Cushing's syndrome.

Sometimes, due to propylene glycol, which is part of Momat, irritation occurs at the application site. Such cases require discontinuation of the drug and the appointment of appropriate therapy.

It must be remembered that some GCS change the manifestation of a number of skin diseases, which makes diagnosis difficult. Also, such drugs often delay wound healing.

Long-term treatment with Momat and sudden withdrawal can cause the development of rebound syndrome, which is manifested by dermatitis with severe burning and redness of the skin. For this reason, after long-term therapy, drug withdrawal is carried out gradually, for example, in the form of a transition to an intermittent treatment regimen until it is completely stopped.

When using Momat cream or ointment, it is necessary to protect the mucous membrane of the eye from contact with it.

Momat

Momat (mometasone) is an artificially synthesized local glucocorticosteroid. Available in the form of cream and ointment. Relieves inflammation, eliminates itching, prevents exudation. Stimulates the formation of proteins that suppress the activity of acetylhydrolase, platelet activating factor and lipomodulins, which, in turn, are responsible for the synthesis of biologically active substances that provide chemical and molecular bonds in the site of inflammation and ensure the development of the inflammatory reaction - prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This occurs due to inhibition of the release of the latter's precursor, arachidonic acid. When applied externally, mometasone is only slightly absorbed into the systemic bloodstream (8 hours after its application to the skin, no more than 0.5% of the active substance penetrates into the blood). The drug undergoes intensive metabolic transformations by microsomal liver enzymes. Elimination from the body is carried out mainly by the kidneys and, to a lesser extent, by the intestines. Momat is indicated to eliminate itching and inflammation in dermatoses (dermatitis, eczema, etc.) that respond to the action of glucocorticosteroids. Momat is contraindicated in case of individual intolerance to mometasone, rosacea, dermatitis of the perioral area, bacterial, viral (herpes, chickenpox, shingles) or fungal skin lesions, reactions that occur after preventive or therapeutic vaccination, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding (in the latter In this case, this means long-term treatment or use of the drug in submaximal and maximum doses).

It is recommended to take special care when using Momat on the face or under an airtight bandage. Frequency of use – 1 time per day. The duration of pharmacotherapy is determined by the doctor depending on the effectiveness of the treatment, the patient’s tolerability of the drug, and the presence and severity of unwanted side reactions. With prolonged use of Momat, as well as other local glucocorticosteroids, the risk of developing systemic side effects increases (this is especially true for patients of younger age groups, as well as cases of using the drug under an airtight bandage). Given this fact, patients should be monitored to prevent the development of hypocortisolism syndrome and suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system. As one of the auxiliary components, Momat contains propylene glycol, which can cause local allergic reactions. If the latter develop, the medication course should be suspended. It must be borne in mind that Momat, as well as other external glucocorticosteroids, can modify the clinical signs of some dermatological diseases, which makes their diagnosis difficult.

Use in pediatrics

Momat ointment is contraindicated for use in children under 2 years of age. It is known that in young patients the ratio of skin surface area to weight is greater than in adults, therefore children are at greater risk of suppressing the functions of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and developing Cushing's syndrome during external use of this drug.

Long-term therapy with Momat often leads to disruption of the development and growth of the child. Therefore, children are prescribed the drug in the minimum dosage sufficient to obtain a positive effect.
