Description

🧾 What is it used for?

MOMESONIC OINT Cream from Austro Lab contains Mometasone Furoate, a topical corticosteroid (medium to high potency). It is used to reduce inflammation, redness, itching, and swelling associated with various skin conditions.

It is commonly prescribed for:

• Eczema

• Psoriasis

• Dermatitis (allergic/contact/atopic)

• Insect bites

• Rash due to allergies or irritants

⚠️ Common Side Effects

Mometasone cream is generally well-tolerated when used as prescribed. However, some may experience:

• Skin dryness or cracking

• Itching or irritation

• Redness or thinning of the skin (with prolonged use)

• Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles)

• Acne or pimple-like rash

🚨 Serious Warnings & Precautions

• Skin thinning: Long-term use can lead to thinning or discoloration of the skin

• Hormonal effects: Prolonged or excessive use over large areas may cause systemic corticosteroid side effects (especially in children)

🔄 Drug & Product Interactions

2. Use only on affected areas as prescribed

3. Wash hands before and after application (unless hands are the area being treated)

4. Avoid long-term use without medical follow-up
