Description
Momate Cream is a prescription skin medication that belongs to the steroid class. It is commonly used to treat skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, allergies, and rashes. This cream helps alleviate uncomfortable symptoms like itching, redness, swelling, and irritation, making the skin feel more comfortable.
Momate Cream works by reducing the release of certain natural chemicals in the skin, such as prostaglandins and other mediators, which cause inflammation and irritation. By blocking these chemicals, the cream helps soothe the skin and controls flare-ups of skin conditions.
This medicine is for external use only. Always apply Momate Cream exactly as prescribed by your doctor, including the dose and duration. Before applying, gently clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer of the cream and rub it in lightly. Wash your hands thoroughly after use, unless you are treating your hands.
Do not apply Momate Cream on broken skin, open wounds, or near sensitive areas like the eyes, mouth, or genitals unless specifically advised by your doctor. Using more than the recommended amount or applying it too frequently can increase the risk of side effects.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive. Also, inform your doctor of your medical history, especially if you have any skin infections. Prolonged use of Momate Cream without medical guidance may cause thinning of the skin or other side effects, so it is important to follow your doctor’s advice carefully.
