M-Mometasone

M-Mometasone (Mometasone Furoate) is a cortisone-like steroid available in cream, ointment, and lotion form. It is used to treat certain itchy rashes and other inflammatory skin conditions. When you use this product, you inevitably absorb some of the medication through your skin and into the bloodstream.

Too much absorption can lead to unwanted side effects elsewhere in the body. To keep this problem to a minimum, avoid using large amounts of the product over large areas, and do not cover it with airtight dressings such as plastic wrap or adhesive bandages unless specifically told to by your physician.

Apply a thin film of the cream or ointment or a few drops of the lotion to the affected skin once a day. Massage it in until it disappears. M-Mometasone (Mometasone Furoate) is for use only on the skin. Be careful to keep it out of your eyes. For the most effective and economical use, hold the tip of the bottle very close to (but not touching) the affected skin and squeeze the bottle gently. In some cases, adult patients may be told to apply it once per day.
