Question 1 of 76

The generic for Nasonex is:

A. mometasone furoate Correct
B. loteprednol etabonate
C. desloratadine
D. fluticasone

Rationale: Mometasone furoate is the active ingredient in Nasonex, making it the appropriate generic name.

Loteprednol etabonate (B) is a different corticosteroid used primarily for eye conditions, not nasal allergies. Desloratadine (C) is an antihistamine used to treat allergy symptoms but is not related to Nasonex. Fluticasone (D) is another corticosteroid, commonly found in other nasal sprays, but it is not the generic name for Nasonex. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper medication identification and usage.
