Elocort Ointment 10 gm

Elocort Ointment is used in the treatment of swelling, redness, and itching due to psoriasis or dermatitis. The detailed uses of Elocort Ointment are as follows:

• Psoriasis: Elocort Ointment helps manage thick, scaly patches by slowing down skin cell turnover and easing irritation.
• Dermatitis: Elocort Ointment is effective in treating allergic or irritant contact dermatitis by calming the skin’s immune response.
• Rashes and itching: Elocort Ointment provides relief from general skin irritation and allergic rashes.

• Elocort Ointment contains Mometasone, a potent corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation (swelling), itching and redness caused by certain skin problems called dermatitis or psoriasis.
• It acts inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain inflammatory substances in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling.
• When the skin reacts to any allergens, such substances are released normally.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Check the label for directions before use. Apply Elocort Ointment as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area.
• Wash your hands before and after using Elocort Ointment unless the treatment is for hands.

• Eat foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid), such as apples, cherries, broccoli, spinach and blueberries.
• Consuming food rich in probiotics helps in developing the immune system against allergies.
• Limit intake of food that might trigger allergies, such as dairy products, soy, eggs, and nuts.
• Avoid the consumption of foods with excess sugar, as it may flare up inflammation.
