Scientific Evidence

Mometasone, the active ingredient in Molescin C ointment, exerts its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in the target cells. Studies have shown that mometasone is effective in reducing inflammation and itching associated with various skin conditions. Research published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology demonstrated the efficacy of mometasone furoate in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis.

Additional Information

It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment with Molescin C ointment to avoid potential side effects. Long-term use of corticosteroids on the skin may lead to skin thinning, discoloration, or other adverse reactions. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen after using the ointment.

Pharmacological Effects: Mometasone exerts its effects by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and suppressing the immune response in the skin. This helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching associated with skin conditions.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have shown that mometasone ointment is well-tolerated and effective in the management of various dermatological conditions. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology demonstrated the superior efficacy of mometasone furoate compared to other topical corticosteroids in the treatment of eczema.
