Important points about Megacort ointment (mometasone)

Choosing the best Mometasone ointment (Megacort) does not necessarily guarantee improvement and treatment of the above conditions, and you should pay close attention to the important points in the brochure inside the Megacort ointment box. Below, we will explain some of the important points that you should be fully aware of before using Mometasone ointment:

Before using Megacort ointment, wash your hands and the area to be treated thoroughly with a mild cleanser. Apply a thin layer of the product to the affected area and massage gently until well absorbed.

Avoid using mometasone ointment on mucous membranes (eyes, ears, and nose). The appropriate format for use to reduce inflammation and improve allergies (runny nose) is Megacort Nasal Spray.

It is very important to complete the treatment period recommended by your doctor and you should not self-medicate or discontinue use of this medicinal product.

If you have a wound or infection in the area, it is recommended that you use systemic and oral treatments instead of Megacort ointment, as prescribed by your doctor.

The recommended dosage and amount of use is only at the discretion of the doctor after examining and monitoring the patient's condition, but a thin layer is usually recommended 1 to 2 times a day.

Advantage of Megacort Ointment (Mometasone Furoate)

As mentioned, the active ingredient mometasone furoate is produced in lotion, Megacort ointment, nasal spray, and cream formats, each of which has different advantages and distinctions. We will now mention the most common advantages of Megacort ointment (mometasone furoate):

• Longer-lasting effect: Mometasone furoate ointment (Megacort ointment) usually stays on the skin longer and is absorbed more slowly, which can provide a longer-lasting effect in reducing inflammation and itching.
• More moisturizing: Ointments contain fatty substances that help moisturize and retain moisture in the skin. This feature makes dry and damaged skin softer and less irritated. Megacort ointment is no exception to this rule.
• Deeper penetration: Due to its fat base, Megacort ointment penetrates deeper layers of the skin and can be more effective in areas with severe dryness or deep inflammation.
• Suitable for dry skin areas: Megacort ointment, manufactured by Kish Medipharm Pharmaceutical Company, is suitable for treating dry and thick skin areas such as elbows, knees, or soles of the feet that require more moisture and effectiveness.
• Reducing inflammation and itching: Like other forms of mometasone, Megacort ointment is also effective in reducing inflammation, redness, and itching caused by skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
• Suitable for sensitive and dry skin: Megacort ointment is usually better tolerated by sensitive and dry skin due to its oily content and moisture retention.

Of course, it should be noted that the use of mometasone must be as directed by a doctor, as prolonged or improper use of corticosteroids can cause side effects such as skin thinning or discoloration.
