[Changes in intraocular pressure with the use of topical nasal mometasone furoate].
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to valuation if the use of topical Mometasone Furoate for the treatment of rhinitis provokes an elevation of the intraocular pressure.


METHODS
It was comparative, double blind, experimental, prospective and longitudinal. To measure the intraocular pressure of the patients at the third week, sixth week, three month, six month and one year.


RESULTS
There were some modifications in the intraocular pressure, but without exceeding the normal parameters.


CONCLUSIONS
Mometasone Furoate is safe and does not cause an increment in the intraocular pressure.
