Why it is Prescribed

Mometasone is used to relieve the itching and inflammation of numerous skin conditions.

This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.


How it Works

Mometasone comes as a topical cream, ointment, and lotion. It usually is applied externally once a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use mometasone exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

To use mometasone cream or ointment, apply a thin film to the affected skin areas once daily.
