Can I extend the treatment with Momtas Cream? My child's condition doesn't seem to improve.
Follow your doctor's instructions regarding Momtas Cream usage, especially in children. Extending beyond the recommended dosage or duration may cause hormonal imbalances in your child, leading to puffiness or facial rounding and potentially delaying growth. Consult your doctor before adjusting any doses.
What is Momtas Cream used for?

Avoid applying a bandage or dressing to the treated area as this can increase absorption and risk of side effects.
