About Topcort Ointment 5 gm
Topcort Ointment 5 gm is used to reduce inflammation (swelling), itchiness and redness caused by certain skin problems called dermatitis or psoriasis. Dermatitis is a common skin condition associated with dry, itchy, or swollen skin. Psoriasis is a condition in which skin cells multiply faster than normal, resulting in white scales and itchy, dry patches.
Topcort Ointment 5 gm contains Mometasone, which works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain inflammatory substances in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling.
Some people may experience inflamed hair follicles, acne, thinning of the skin, itching, stinging, tingling or burning sensations. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
Please inform your doctor if you are allergic to mometasone or any other medications. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before using Topcort Ointment 5 gm. Topcort Ointment 5 gm is not recommended for children for long-term use as it may lead to slow growth.
