Mometasone Inhaler Use in Children

The mometasone inhaler is approved to treat asthma in children 12 years of age and older. Young children usually require help using the mometasone inhaler correctly. Be sure to talk with your healthcare provider about the best ways to treat childhood asthma. Inhaled steroids, such as the mometasone inhaler, may slightly slow the growth of children or teenagers.
