INTRODUCTION ABOUT ELOCON 0.001 CREAM

ELOCON
0.001 CREAM contains Mometasone which belongs to the group of medicines
called Topical Corticosteroids. ELOCON 0.001 CREAM is used in the
management of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of
corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses such as psoriasis and atopic
dermatitis. It is also used to manage scalp psoriasis and seborrheic
dermatitis.

Psoriasis is a type of skin disease that causes skin
rash with itchy, scaly patches which most commonly occurs on the knees,
elbows, trunk and scalp. Atopic dermatitis is a skin condition which
makes your skin red and itchy. Scalp psoriasis is a common skin disorder
that makes skin raised, reddish, often scaly on the scalp which can
either occur as a single patch or several patches on the scalp.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that affects your scalp
which is characterized by red, and scaly patches of skin and dandruff.

affecting the face), acne (pimples), skin atrophy (thinning of the
skin), dermatitis (skin inflammation) around the mouth, genital itching,
viral infections such as shingles, chickenpox (viral infection),

effects of using ELOCON 0.001 CREAM are mild to moderate pruritus (itchy
skin), burning and stinging sensation of skin, folliculitis (a type of
skin infection marked by inflamed hair follicles), dryness of skin, mild
skin atrophy (thin-shiny appearing skin). Consult your doctor if any of
these symptoms gets worse.

HOW ELOCON 0.001 CREAM WORKS

ELOCON
0.001 CREAM works by reducing the inflammation of skin by blocking the
production of a chemical messenger which is responsible for causing red,
swollen and itchy skin that occurs due to an allergic reaction or
irritation in the skin thereby providing relief from the symptoms of
psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and seborrhoeic
dermatitis.

medicine and gently rub into the affected area of skin. Managed areas on
