Frequently asked questions
What is the classification of Mometis Cream?
Mometis Cream is a corticosteroid, not an antifungal, antibiotic, or steroid. It is used to reduce inflammation (redness, swelling) in various conditions and is available as an ointment, cream, lotion, nasal spray, or powder for external application.
Can I extend the treatment with Mometis Cream if it's effective for my child?
It is essential to use Mometis Cream as advised by your doctor, especially in children. Using more than the recommended dose or extending the duration may cause hormonal imbalance in your child, leading to puffiness or rounding of the face and potential delays in growth and development. Consult your doctor before making any dose adjustments.
What is Mometis Cream used for?
Mometis Cream is a steroid medicine used on the skin to relieve inflammatory and itchy skin diseases, reducing redness, scaling, and swelling associated with these conditions. It is crucial to consult your doctor before using this medicine.
How do I use Mometis Cream?
Mometis Cream should be gently rubbed into the affected skin twice daily for a maximum of about 2 weeks. If you do not find considerable improvement within 2 weeks, consult your doctor for reevaluation.
Can I use Mometis Cream on broken skin?
No, Mometis Cream should not be applied on broken skin. It is a steroid medicine that suppresses the immune system, which may cause varied side effects that delay the healing process. Additionally, steroids can cause skin atrophy, potentially worsening the associated condition.
Does Mometis Cream cause local irritation or skin reactions?
Yes, Mometis Cream may cause local skin reactions like burning, itching, irritation, dryness, and hypopigmentation in sensitive individuals, although this is rare. Inform your doctor if you have any history of allergy or reaction before starting therapy with this medicine. In some cases, the added ingredients may be the cause of the allergic reaction. If you experience a reaction, stop the medication immediately and consult your doctor.
What precautions should I take while using Mometis Cream?
Mometis Cream should not be used on the face. Do not use the medication for longer periods of time than advised. Avoid applying a bandage or dressing to the treated area, as this may increase absorption and increase the risk of side-effects. This medicine should only be used as advised by your doctor, and it should not be given to others, even if their condition appears to be the same.
