Indications & Clinical Uses

Mometasone furoate is a potent topical corticosteroid used to manage inflammatory skin disorders.

  • Atopic dermatitis: reduces redness, itching and swelling in eczema patients.
  • Psoriasis: diminishes plaque formation and scaling.
  • Allergic contact dermatitis: alleviates inflammation caused by allergen exposure.

How It Works

  • Mometasone furoate binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors, forming a complex that translocates to the nucleus and modulates gene transcription. This action suppresses pro‑inflammatory cytokine production, inhibits leukocyte migration, and reduces edema, resulting in pronounced anti‑inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects at the site of application.

Side Effects

Topical application of mometasone furoate can be associated with a range of local and systemic reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Burning or stinging sensation at the application site.
  • Pruritus or mild itching.
  • Dryness or flaking of the skin.
  • Folliculitis or acne‑like eruptions.
  • Mild erythema or irritation.
  • Telangiectasia (small visible blood vessels).

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Skin atrophy or thinning.
  • Hypopigmentation or depigmentation.
  • Secondary bacterial, fungal or viral infections.
  • Systemic adrenal suppression with extensive use.
  • Cushingoid appearance (weight gain, moon face).
  • Severe allergic reaction (urticaria, angioedema).

Precautions & Warnings

When using Mometasone Teva, follow these safety measures to minimize risks.

  • Limited area: Apply only to small skin areas and avoid prolonged continuous use.
  • Occlusion: Do not cover treated skin with airtight dressings unless directed by a physician.
  • Infections: Avoid use on viral, fungal, or bacterial skin infections without medical supervision.
  • Children: Use with caution in pediatric patients; monitor for growth suppression.
  • Systemic steroids: Do not combine with systemic corticosteroids without professional guidance.
  • Store below 25°C: Keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Mometasone furoate may interact with other medications that influence corticosteroid metabolism or increase systemic exposure.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Systemic corticosteroids: concurrent use can amplify systemic steroid effects and adrenal suppression.
  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): may increase systemic absorption of mometasone.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Topical immunosuppressants (e.g., tacrolimus, pimecrolimus): combined use may heighten local immunosuppression.
  • Antiviral agents (e.g., acyclovir): monitor for delayed wound healing.
  • Antifungal creams: assess for additive irritation.
  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): watch for systemic steroid‑related side effects if absorbed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mometasone Teva is a topical corticosteroid indicated for inflammatory skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, and allergic contact dermatitis. It helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching associated with these conditions when applied to the affected skin areas.

Mometasone furoate binds to glucocorticoid receptors inside skin cells, altering gene transcription. This suppresses the production of inflammatory mediators, reduces leukocyte infiltration, and limits edema, providing potent anti‑inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects at the site of application.

The specific dosage and frequency are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the severity of the skin condition, the area to be treated, and patient age. Patients should follow the exact instructions provided on the prescription label.

Safety data for topical mometasone during pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers usually weigh potential benefits against risks. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss use with their physician before starting treatment.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Mometasone furoate is classified as a high‑potency topical corticosteroid, offering stronger anti‑inflammatory action than low‑potency agents such as hydrocortisone. Compared with other high‑potency steroids like clobetasol, mometasone may have a slightly lower risk of skin atrophy when used as directed, but clinical choice depends on the specific condition and physician preference.

Store the cream below 25 °C in its original packaging, protecting it from moisture and direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability. Do not freeze the product, and keep it out of reach of children.

Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin area once or twice daily, as directed by the prescriber. Gently rub it in until fully absorbed, and wash hands after application unless treating the hands themselves. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and open wounds unless instructed.

Serious risks include skin atrophy, secondary infections, systemic adrenal suppression, and rare systemic Cushingoid effects when used over large areas or for prolonged periods. Patients should report signs of thinning skin, unusual bruising, severe fatigue, or hormonal disturbances to their healthcare provider promptly.

Mometasone Teva should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to mometasone furoate or any cream excipients, and it is contraindicated on skin infected with untreated bacterial, viral, or fungal organisms. Patients with uncontrolled systemic infections or those receiving systemic corticosteroids without medical supervision should also refrain from use.
