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.

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.

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