Momate Ointment 15gm

Momate Ointment is used for the following:

• Managing symptoms of psoriasis, characterised by red, itchy patches on the skin.

• Providing relief from atopic dermatitis, a condition causing dry, itchy, red skin.

• Controlling scalp psoriasis, which manifests as thick, dry, red, itchy and scaly patches on the scalp.

• Alleviating seborrheic dermatitis, a skin condition primarily affecting the scalp and causing scaly patches, red skin and stubborn dandruff.

Apply Momate Ointment as follows:

• Ensure that the affected skin area is clean and dry before application.

• Apply a thin film of the ointment to the affected area as advised by the doctor.

• Gently massage the ointment into the skin until it is fully absorbed.

• Wash your hands thoroughly after each application to prevent spreading to other areas or individuals.

• Always consult your doctor for specific advice about using this medicine.

Momate Ointment is applied topically.

Momate Ointment contains Mometasone (0.1 %), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Inflammation Reduction: Mometasone suppresses the release of inflammatory mediators and cytokines - substances that trigger inflammation in your body, leading to symptoms like redness and swelling.

• Itchiness Relief: By controlling the production of these substances, Mometasone also mitigates itchiness associated with inflammatory skin conditions.

• Vasoconstriction: This medicine also induces vasoconstriction or narrowing of blood vessels in the affected areas. This effect helps decrease redness and swelling on your skin.

• Keep Momate Ointment in a cool and dry place, ideally at a temperature between 20° to 25°C.

• Protect the ointment from direct light.

• Safeguard it from kids' reach.

• For skin conditions like psoriasis or atopic dermatitis, try to include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as flaxseeds, walnuts, and oily fish in your diet. These could help manage inflammation.

• Avoid scratching or rubbing the areas where you apply Momate Ointment. This can worsen the condition and cause further skin damage. Always keep your nails short and clean to avoid infections.
