Mometasone is a corticosteroid demonstrating anti-inflammatory properties. The precise mechanism of corticosteroids action on allergic rhinitis is not known. Corticosteroids have been shown to have a wide range of effects on multiple cell types (e.g., mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes) and mediators (e.g., histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, and cytokines) involved in inflammation.

Mometasone cream is indicated for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid- responsive dermatoses, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

A thin film of Mometasone Furoate cream should be applied to the affected skin areas once daily. Safety and effectiveness in paediatric patients below 2 years of age have not been established.

The drug is contraindicated in individuals with a history of sensitivity reactions to Mometasone or any of the components of the preparation.

Mometasone Furoate cream is generally well tolerated. Burning, Pruritus and skin atrophy may occur.

If irritation develops with the use of Mometasone Furoate cream, treatment should be discontinued.
