Introduction

Elocan is a type of medicine known as a topical steroid. It is used to treat certain skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and rash. It helps reduce symptoms like swelling, itching and redness. You should always use Elocan exactly as your doctor has told you. It is only for use on the skin but do not use the cream or ointment on your face for more than the recommended duration. Do not cover the area, which needs to be treated with a bandage or plaster unless your doctor tells you to. You should use this medicine regularly but do not apply large amounts or use it for longer than prescribed. It should be spread as a thin layer. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve after 2 weeks of treatment. Elocan has a few potential side effects but not everyone will get them. These may include thinning or a change in color of the skin, burning, stinging and itching. Serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare, but let your doctor know if you are bothered by side effects or they do not go away. Not all creams are likely to work for all skin conditions and may make some worse. Make sure you read the instructions that come with your medicine. Let your doctor know about any medical issues you have such as thinning of skin, any skin infection, broken or ulcerated skin, diabetes and immune system problems. Also, inform the doctor about other medicines you are taking (particularly steroids). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.

How Elocan works

Quick Tips

  • Elocan is used to treat the redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort of various skin conditions.
  • It should be applied to the affected areas as a thin film two or three times daily, or as advised by your doctor.
  • Do not use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.
  • Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
  • If you think the area of skin you are treating has become infected you should stop using Elocan and consult your doctor.
  • Consult your doctor if your skin condition has not improved after 2 weeks of treatment.

Brief Description

Indication

Psoriasis, Corticosteroid- responsive dermatoses

Adult Dose

Topical/Cutaneous Corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses Adult: As 0.1% cream/oint: Apply a thin film to affected area once daily.

Contraindication

Mode of Action

Mometasone depresses the formation, release and activity of endogenous inflammatory chemical mediators (e.g. kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes and prostaglandin). It inhibits the margination and subsequent cell migration to the injury site, reverses vascular dilatation and permeability, resulting in decreased access of cells to the area of injury.

Precaution

If irritation develops with the use of Mometasone Furoate cream, treatment should be discontinued. Lactation: use caution

Side Effect

Burning, Pruritus, Itching, Rosacea and skin atrophy may occur.

Interaction

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole) may increase systemic exposure of mometasone.
