Momate Cream

Momate Cream (Mometasone Furoate Cream 0.1%)

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Mometasone Furoate (0.1%)
• Excipients: Additional ingredients may vary based on the manufacturer, but typically include emulsifying agents, preservatives, and stabilizers to aid in the cream’s effectiveness and shelf-life.

Mechanism of Action

Mometasone Furoate is a synthetic corticosteroid that exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by binding to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to the suppression of the immune response. It inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators and reduces the symptoms of inflammation, such as redness, swelling, and itching in the affected area.

Dosage

• Application Frequency: Apply a thin layer of Momate Cream to the affected area once daily or as directed by a healthcare provider.
• Duration of Use: Treatment duration will depend on the condition being treated and should generally not exceed a few weeks for most indications, unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.

Usage

• Indications: Momate Cream is typically used for the treatment of various dermatological conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and allergic skin reactions.
• Method of Application: Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream. Gently massage a small amount of the cream into the skin until fully absorbed. Wash hands afterward unless treating the hands.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Local burning or itching
• Dryness at the application site
• Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles)
• Skin thinning or atrophy with prolonged use
• Systemic absorption leading to signs of adrenal suppression in extreme cases

Less common but serious side effects may include:

• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling
• Signs of infection (redness, warmth, swelling) in the treated area

Recommendations

• Avoid Prolonged Use: Limit the duration of use to prevent potential side effects, especially skin atrophy.
• Patch Test: If using for the first time, consider a patch test on a small skin area to check for allergic reactions.
• Do Not Apply on Broken Skin: Avoid using the cream on broken, infected, or open wounds unless advised by a healthcare provider.
• Consult a Professional: If symptoms do not improve within a few days or worsen, speak with a healthcare professional.

Important Note

• Not for Ophthalmic Use: Avoid contact with the eyes and other mucosal areas (nose, mouth, etc.).
• Pregnant/Breastfeeding Women: Consult a healthcare provider before use, as safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established.
• Medication Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
• Store Properly: Keep the cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for use and consult them with any questions or concerns regarding your treatment.
