Momate Cream 15gm
Rs. 0
Product Overview
Momate cream is a member of the corticosteroid drug class and is used to lessen inflammation (swelling), itching, and redness brought on by dermatitis or psoriasis, two conditions that affect the skin. A common skin ailment known as dermatitis causes dry, itchy, or puffy skin. Skin cells develop more quickly than they should in psoriasis, causing white scales and dry, painful patches.
Mometasone, a strong corticosteroid found in Momate Ointment 15 gm, inhibits the release of specific inflammatory molecules in the body that produce redness, itching, and swelling by acting inside skin cells. These chemicals are generally released when the skin reacts to allergens.
