TAZAROTENE+MOMETASONE is an anti-psoriatic agent indicated in the treatment of psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply faster than usual. This causes scaling, redness, and thickness of the skin. Psoriatic patches generally occur on the knees, elbows, scalp, and lower back.
TAZAROTENE+MOMETASONE contains Tazarotene and Mometasone. Tazarotene slows down skin cell turnover and decreases inflammation. Mometasone blocks the action of chemical messengers that cause inflammation. Together, TAZAROTENE+MOMETASONE helps treat psoriasis.
In some cases, you may experience side effects, such as itching, peeling, and dryness. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Triggers of psoriasis include infections, colds, and stress.
