About Mogiv 0.1% Cream

MOMETASONE belongs to the class of medicine called ‘corticosteroids’ used to reduce inflammation, redness and itchiness caused by certain skin problems and allergic symptoms of hay fever and asthma. 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. 

MOMETASONE contains ‘Mometasone’ that blocks various chemical messengers (like histamine) involved in allergic and non-allergic mediated inflammation. MOMETASONE 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), asthma and allergic skin conditions eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. 

Take or apply MOMETASONE exactly as your doctor has prescribed it. Common side effects of MOMETASONE include headaches, dry or sore throat, unpleasant taste and smell, sneezing, a fungal infection in the mouth (oral thrush), burning or stinging feeling when they put MOMETASONE (cream, ointment) the skin.

If you are allergic to MOMETASONE or any other ingredients, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before using MOMETASONE. MOMETASONE is not recommended for children for long-term use as it may lead to slow growth. While taking MOMETASONE, do not contact anyone who has shingles, chickenpox or measles.
