Can I extend the treatment with Momesla Cream beyond the prescribed duration?
You should adhere to the recommended dosage and duration advised by your doctor when using Momesla Cream, especially in children. Exceeding the recommended dose or extending the treatment may lead to hormonal imbalance, resulting in facial puffiness, changes in growth, and potential developmental delays. Always consult with your doctor before making any adjustments to the prescribed regimen.

Momesla Cream is a steroid medication specifically formulated for external use on the skin. It effectively relieves inflammation and itching associated with various inflammatory and itchy skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Before using this medicine, consult your doctor to ensure it's suitable for your specific condition.
How should Momesla Cream be used?
Apply Momesla Cream to the affected skin twice daily, but do not exceed 2 weeks of use. If you don’t notice significant improvement within this period, consult your doctor for reevaluation.
Can I use Momesla Cream on broken skin?

Avoid applying Momesla Cream on your face. Never use this medicine for longer than recommended by your doctor. Do not apply a bandage or dressing over the treatment area as it can increase absorption and potentially induce adverse reactions.
