What is Mometasone?
Mometasone is a topical steroid that is used to treat allergies and moderate to severe corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses or skin conditions including eczema(atopic dermatitis), psoriasis, and rash. Mometasone has an anti-inflammatory property that reduces itching and redness and stops the production of leukotrienes formed by the oxidation of arachidonic acid. Mometasone contains 21-dichloro-11, methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione. It is available in several dosage forms including ointment, cream, and lotion. Mometasone is only available with a prescription and is safe for use by patients two years of age older. It is not known how Mometasone works in children below this age group.
Do not use Mometasone if you are allergic to mometasone. This medication should not be used to treat diaper rash or for longer than three weeks in children. Mometasone cream can only be used in certain areas of skin. Do not use Mometasone on the face, groin, underarms, or on a large body surface area.
Before using Mometasone inform your doctor of all medical conditions you may have, including skin infections, if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, and if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. The effects of Mometasone on pregnant women, those who are breastfeeding, or on breast milk have not been studied. You should also tell your doctor about all the medications, especially prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements you are using. This will help to avoid adverse drug interactions.
Apply Mometasone only as directed by your doctor. Usually, a thin film of Mometasone cream is applied to the affected area once daily. It is massaged into the skin until the medication disappears. Do not cover the treated area with bandages or any other dressings. If Mometasone is applied near the diaper area on an infant, do not use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants. Do not wash or rinse Mometasone off immediately after applying it. Wash your hands with soap and water after each use unless you are using this medication to treat the hands.
For Mometasone to be most effective, use this medication regularly. To ensure you never miss a dose, use it at the same time each day. Do not apply large amounts of Mometasone to avoid systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids which can lead to Cushing's syndrome or hyperglycemia. If Mometasone is used for too long you increase the potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency after withdrawal of treatment.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve after two weeks of treatment or if it worsens.
