Momecort 0.1% Cream 10g

✔️ Possible side effects include:

• Skin thinning (skin atrophy)
• Burning or stinging
• Itching or irritation
• Tingling or prickling sensations
• Changes in skin colour
• Rosacea-like reactions, particularly with inappropriate facial use

✔️ Mode of Action:

Mometasone furoate suppresses inflammatory mediators and reduces inflammatory cell activity, vascular dilation, and capillary permeability, helping relieve skin inflammation and itching.

✔️ Dosage & Administration

Adult Dose: For mometasone furoate 0.1% cream, apply a thin film to the affected area once daily or as prescribed.

Child Dose: Use in children should be guided by a healthcare professional. For children older than 2 years, treatment with 0.1% cream may be prescribed for a limited period. Follow the product leaflet and the doctor's instructions; avoid prolonged use.

✔️ Words of Advice:

• Momecort Cream helps relieve redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with certain inflammatory skin conditions.
• Apply a thin layer at the frequency prescribed by your doctor. For mometasone 0.1% cream, once-daily application is a common regimen.
• Do not use it more frequently or for longer than recommended.
• Avoid covering the treated skin with airtight dressings unless specifically instructed.
• Do not apply it to the face, groin, or armpits unless your doctor advises you to do so.
• If the affected area becomes painful, increasingly red, warm, swollen, or develops pus, seek medical advice because these may be signs of infection.
• Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve within two weeks.

✔️ Interaction

Systemic absorption from topical mometasone is usually limited when used correctly. However, strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, may increase systemic exposure to mometasone if sufficient amounts are absorbed. Inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking, particularly other corticosteroids or medicines that may affect steroid metabolism.

✔️ Contraindications:

Known hypersensitivity to mometasone furoate or any ingredient in the formulation. The cream should not be used to treat untreated skin infections unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.

✔️ Safety Information:

Use cautiously on sensitive areas, broken skin, or large skin areas. Prolonged use may cause skin thinning and systemic corticosteroid effects, particularly in children. Discontinue and consult your doctor if significant irritation occurs. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only after medical advice.

✔️ Storage:

Store at below 30°C in a dry place protected from light. Keep out of reach of children. Discard the tube with any remaining contents after each treatment.
