ELOCOM OINT 15GM (MOMETASONE)

Overview

Elocom Ointment 15g is an advanced, medium-to-high potency topical steroid used to manage inflammatory and pruritic (itchy) manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Because it is formulated as a thick, lipid-rich ointment, it creates an occlusive protective layer over the skin. This locks in moisture and enhances the penetration of the active ingredient, making it highly effective for dry, scaly, or thickened plaques of skin.

Key Benefits & Therapeutic Actions

• Rapid Anti-Inflammatory Relief: Actively reduces the chemical triggers in the skin that cause painful swelling, redness, and severe flare-ups.
• Deep Hydration for Scaly Lesions: The rich ointment base is ideal for treating dry, rough, or peeling patches, helping to restore suppleness while healing the tissue.
• Powerful Anti-Itch Action: Fast-acting relief from chronic pruritus, preventing the user from scratching and reducing the risk of secondary bacterial skin infections.
• Targeted Minimal Application: Due to its high efficacy, a thin layer applied once daily is typically sufficient to control symptoms, minimizing systemic absorption.

Core Active Ingredient

• Mometasone Furoate (0.1% w/w): A potent synthetic corticosteroid that delivers strong localized anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects with a favorable safety profile compared to older generation steroids.

How to Use

Apply a very thin film of Elocom Ointment to the affected skin areas once daily, gently rubbing it in until it disappears. Do not bandage, wrap, or occlude the treated skin unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional. Wash hands thoroughly before and after application.
