Momate Lotion (Mometasone 0.1%)

Momate Lotion 30 ml belongs to the class of medicine called ‘potent corticosteroid’ used to reduce inflammation, redness, irritation and itchiness caused by certain skin problems and allergic symptoms of hay fever. An allergic condition is an immune system response to a foreign substance (allergens) that is not typically harmful to your body, including certain foods, pollen, or pet dander. Many chemical messengers called histamines are released, which causes skin and other respiratory allergies with symptoms like watery eyes, itchy nose/throat/skin, redness, and inflammation. It is used to treat redness and itching caused by certain skin conditions called psoriasis or dermatitis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that results in itchy and scaly rashes on the skin. Dermatitis is a generalised term for inflammation of the skin.

Momate Lotion 30 ml contains ‘Mometasone furoate’ that blocks various chemical messengers (like histamine) involved in allergic and non-allergic mediated inflammation. Momate Lotion 30 ml reduces inflammation, itchiness, and redness by preventing infection-fighting white blood cells (WBCs) from travelling to the affected area of your body. It treats various allergy-related respiratory conditions, including allergic rhinitis (allergy symptoms with itchy/watery eyes and stuffy nose), hay fever (seasonal allergy), and allergic skin conditions psoriasis and dermatitis. It reduces the release of inflammatory mediators (chemicals that cause inflammation). When used as the topical form, it causes constriction of blood vessels decreasing the access of cells to the site of injury. This effect helps in reducing the swelling, pain, itching, and discomfort.
