Momecutan (mometasone furoate) is a topical glucocorticoid used to treat inflammatory skin conditions.

- Atopic dermatitis: reduces redness, itching and scaling associated with eczema. - Psoriasis: diminishes plaque formation and inflammation. - Contact dermatitis: alleviates allergic skin reactions and swelling. - Seborrheic dermatitis: controls inflammation and flaking on scalp and face. - Discoid lupus erythematosus: manages cutaneous lesions and local inflammation.

Momecutan may cause local skin reactions and, rarely, systemic effects.

Common Side Effects: - Burning or stinging sensation at the application site. - Pruritus or mild itching. - Dryness or peeling of the skin. - Folliculitis or acneiform eruptions. - Erythema or mild redness. - Telangiectasia (visible small blood vessels).

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Skin atrophy or thinning. - Secondary bacterial, fungal or viral infection. - Hypersensitivity reactions such as urticaria or angioedema. - Systemic adrenal suppression with extensive use. - Delayed wound healing. - Hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth).

Before using Momecutan, consider the following safety measures.

- Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Pediatric use: limit duration and surface area in children. - Occlusive dressings: avoid unless directed, as they may increase absorption. - Infected skin: do not apply to areas with bacterial, viral or fungal infection. - Systemic absorption: monitor for signs of adrenal suppression with prolonged use. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

Momecutan can interact with other medications; awareness of these interactions helps minimize risk.

Major Interactions (Avoid):\n- Systemic corticosteroids: may increase risk of systemic glucocorticoid effects. - Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): can raise local drug concentration. - Antifungal or antibacterial topical agents: may enhance percutaneous absorption.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Photosensitizing drugs (e.g., tetracyclines): may increase skin irritation. - Topical retinoids: can exacerbate local irritation. - Anticoagulants: potential for increased skin bruising or delayed healing.
