Elocon Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Mometasone Furoate
INDICATIONS
Cream and Ointment
Mometasone furoate cream
and ointment 0.1% is
a medium potency corticosteroid
indicated for the relief
of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive
dermatoses.
Mometasone furoate cream
and ointment may be
used in pediatric
patients 2 years of age
or older, although the safety and efficacy of drug
use for longer than 3 weeks have not been established (see PRECAUTIONS,
Pediatric Use). Since safety and efficacy of mometasone furoate
cream and ointment
have not been established in pediatric
patients below 2 years of age, its use in this age
group is not recommended.
Lotion
Mometasone furoate lotion
is indicated for the relief
of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive
dermatoses.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Ointment and Cream: Apply a thin film
of mometasone furoate cream and ointment
to the affected skin areas
once daily. Mometasone furoate cream and ointment
may be used in pediatric
patients 2 years of age
or older. Safety and efficacy of mometasone furoate cream
and ointment in pediatric
patients for more than 3 weeks of use have not been established.
Use in pediatric patients
under 2 years of age is
not recommended.
As with other corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when
control is achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment
of diagnosis may be necessary.
Mometasone furoate cream
and ointment should
not be used with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician.
Mometasone furoate cream
and ointment should not be applied in the diaper area
if the child still requires
diapers or plastic pants
as these garments may constitute occlusive
dressing.
Lotion: Apply a few drops
of mometasone furoate lotion to the affected areas once daily and
massage lightly until
it disappears. For the most effective and economical use, hold the
nozzle of the bottle very close to the affected areas and gently
squeeze.
