You only need to use a small amount of this preparation. Apply it thinly once a day, just to the areas affected.

Topical corticosteroids should not be used for long periods of time or on large areas of the body, especially in children. This is due to the risk of serious side-effects with long-term use.

As a guide, mometasone should not be used continuously for more than 5 days in children or 7 days in adults, unless your doctor gives specific instructions to do so.

Do not use mometasone on any infected areas of skin.

About mometasone

סוג התרופה	A potent (strong) topical corticosteroid
שימוש עבור	Inflammatory skin conditions such as severe eczema and dermatitis
נקרא גם	Elocon®
זמין כ	Cream, ointment, and scalp lotion

Mometasone is classed as a strong topical corticosteroid. Topical corticosteroids are also referred to as סטרואידים מקומיים. Topical steroids are used in addition to moisturisers (emollients) for treating inflammatory skin conditions such as אקזמה ו דרמטיטיס. A topical steroid is used when patches of eczema or dermatitis flare up. Mometasone relieves the symptoms of a flare-up by reducing inflammation, itching and redness. It is not a cure for the condition, but it will help to relieve the symptoms. Short courses of mometasone may also be prescribed for the treatment of פסוריאזיס for small areas such as the scalp, soles of the feet, or palms of the hands.

Mometasone is available in a number of different preparations. It is likely you will be prescribed a cream if the affected areas of your skin are moist or weeping, or an ointment if your skin is dry. It is also available as an application for the scalp. Mometasone is not generally suitable for children, although short courses of up to two weeks may occasionally be prescribed for a child by a skin specialist doctor.

Before using mometasone

To make sure this is the right treatment for you, before you start using mometasone it is important that your doctor knows:

אם יש לך אזורים של עור נגוע.
אם יש לך רוזציאה או אקנה.
אם את בהריון או מניקה.
אם אי פעם הייתה לך תגובה אלרגית לתכשיר עור.

How to use mometasone

Before you start using the preparation, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about topical steroids and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects that you may experience from using them.
Apply a small amount to the areas of skin which are inflamed, once a day. Then gently rub it into the skin until it has disappeared. If you are using a scalp application, apply a few drops to your hair and rub it in gently. You can apply it to either dry or wet hair. Do not use mometasone on any open sores or any infected areas of skin.
כמות הסטרואיד המקומי שעליך למרוח נמדדת בדרך כלל ביחידות קצה אצבע (FTUs). יחידת FTU אחת היא כמות הקרם או המשחה שנלחצת לאורך קצה אצבע של מבוגר (כלומר, מהקצה של האצבע עד לקפל הראשון באצבע). כהנחיה, יחידת FTU אחת מספיקה לכיסוי שטח בגודל כפול מגודל כף יד של מבוגר. הרופא שלך ייתן לך מושג כמה יחידות FTU תצטרך כדי לכסות את האזור בעור שלך שנפגע.
אם אתה משתמש ביותר מסטרואיד מקומי אחד, ודא שאתה יודע מתי והיכן להשתמש בכל אחד מהם. אם אינך בטוח, בדוק עם הרופא שלך או שאל את הרוקח שלך לקבלת ייעוץ נוסף.
After you have applied mometasone, remember to wash your hands (unless your hands are the treated area).
If you are using mometasone for psoriasis, make sure you follow your doctor's instructions carefully. It should not be used for large areas of psoriasis or for long periods of time, as these can cause your symptoms to flare up again afterwards.

להפיק את המרב מהטיפול שלך

If you are using a moisturiser along with this preparation, apply the moisturiser first. Then wait 10-15 minutes before applying mometasone. This allows time for the moisturiser to be absorbed before the topical corticosteroid is applied. Your skin should be moist but not slippery when you apply mometasone.
Do not use mometasone on your face unless a skin specialist doctor has said you should. If you have been told to use it on your face, be careful not to get any preparation near your eyes and do not use it for longer periods of time than you have been advised.
Unless advised to do so by your doctor, do not apply a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the preparation and increase the risk of side-effects.
Continue to use mometasone until the flare-up has gone, and then stop it. A course of treatment for 7 days is often sufficient. If your symptoms have not improved after this time (or if they get worse), speak again with your doctor for further advice. Topical corticosteroids like mometasone should not be used for long periods of time or on large areas of the body.
After you finish using mometasone, continue to use your moisturiser every day. This will help to prevent a further flare-up. Your doctor may also prescribe a less potent steroid cream for you to use when needed.

Can mometasone cause problems?

Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. You can reduce the risk of side-effects from mometasone, by applying the preparation thinly, no more than once a day, and to the affected areas only.

Side-effects of mometasone skin preparations	מה אני יכול לעשות אם אני חווה את זה?
Burning or smarting	אלה עשויים להתרחש בימים הראשונים אך בדרך כלל משתפרים לאחר מכן
דילול העור, סימני מתיחה קבועים, דרמטיטיס מגע אלרגי, אקנה, רוזציאה וצמיחת שיער במקום היישום	These would normally only affect you if you use mometasone for long periods of time
Mometasone may get through your skin and into your bloodstream	This usually causes no problem unless you use mometasone regularly on large areas of your skin

חשוב: continuous or prolonged use of corticosteroid skin preparations is not recommended. As a general guide, corticosteroids should not be used continuously for more than 5 days in children and 7 days in adults, unless your doctor gives specific instructions to do so. This is to prevent the risk of more serious side-effects with prolonged use. In addition, prolonged use can lead to more severe flare-ups of your skin condition when you do stop treatment. Always continue to moisturise your skin after stopping treatment with any corticosteroid preparation. If you experience severe redness, burning or stinging of your skin within a few days or weeks of stopping treatment you should consider over-use of the corticosteroid as a possible cause. Speak to your doctor or a pharmacist for advice in this case.

חשוב: there is a risk of fire when creams and ointments are absorbed by fabrics (such as clothing or bedsheets), making them flammable. A spark or flame can easily ignite the fabric. The risk is highest when large amounts of paraffin-based products are applied and absorb into fabrics. However, there is also a risk when non-paraffin products are used. Be aware of this fire hazard when repeatedly using large amounts of any skin product. Do not smoke or go near naked flames.

When used as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, this product will be applied in small quantities on small areas of skin. There should be minimal absorption into fabrics and a lower risk of fire.

If you experience any other symptoms which you think may be due to mometasone, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

שאלות נפוצות

Can mometasone furoate be used for eczema?

Yes, mometasone is used in conjunction with moisturisers (emollients) to treat inflammatory skin conditions like eczema when they flare up. It helps alleviate symptoms such as inflammation, redness, and itching, but it does not cure the condition itself.

Is mometasone suitable for children?

Mometasone is generally not recommended for children. However, a skin specialist doctor might occasionally prescribe short courses, typically up to two weeks, for a child.

Why should I wash my hands after applying mometasone?

It is important to wash your hands after applying mometasone to prevent the medicine from spreading to other areas of your body or to other people, unless your hands are the specific area being treated.

What should I do if my symptoms don't improve after using mometasone for 7 days?

If your symptoms have not improved after about 7 days of using mometasone, or if they get worse, you should speak with your doctor again for further advice.

Can mometasone cause side effects like thinning skin or stretch marks?

Side effects like thinning of the skin and permanent stretch marks would typically only occur if you use mometasone for long periods of time. You can reduce the risk of side effects by applying the preparation thinly, no more than once a day, and only to the affected areas.

What is the fire risk associated with mometasone and other skin products?

There is a risk of fire if creams and ointments are absorbed by fabrics like clothing or bedsheets, making them flammable. A spark or flame can easily ignite these fabrics. The risk is highest with large amounts of paraffin-based products, but it can also occur with non-paraffin products. You should be aware of this hazard and avoid smoking or going near naked flames when using these products. When used as directed in small quantities, the risk of absorption into fabrics is minimal.
