Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics.

Mometasone furoate is a synthetic glucocorticosteroid for topical use with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and antiexudative effects.

Pharmacokinetics.

Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that systemic absorption after topical application of mometasone furoate 0.1% is minimal; approximately 0.4% of the administered dose is eliminated from the body within 72 hours after application. It was almost impossible to establish the nature of the metabolites due to the small amount present in blood plasma and secretions.

Indication
Inflammatory phenomena and itching in dermatoses treated with corticosteroids, including psoriasis (except for common plaque psoriasis) and atopic dermatitis, in adults and children over 2 years of age.

Contraindication
Elocom® is contraindicated in rosacea, acne vulgaris, skin atrophy, perioral dermatitis, perianal and genital itching, diaper rash, bacterial (eg impetigo, pyoderma), viral (eg herpes simplex, herpes zoster, shingles and shingles) mollusk), parasitic and fungal (eg candida or dermatophyte) infections, tuberculosis, syphilis or post-vaccination reactions. Elocom® should not be applied to wounds or ulcerated skin. The drug is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug or to other glucocorticosteroids.
