(Mometasone Furoate)

The active ingredient in Elocon Lotion is mometasone furoate. Mometasone furoate works by reducing inflammation in the skin. As a topical corticosteroid, it helps decrease chemicals in the body that cause redness, swelling, and itching. When applied to affected areas, it lowers the immune system reaction in that spot and allows the skin to heal. Although it helps manage symptoms, it does not cure the underlying skin condition.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Elocon Lotion. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Elocon Lotion:

• Use Elocon Lotion exactly as prescribed, usually recommended to use once daily.
• Shake the bottle well before applying. Apply a small amount to the affected skin area and gently spread it as a thin layer. Wash your hands before and after applying the lotion, unless your hands are the treated area.
• Avoid using large amounts or covering the treated area with occlusive dressings, such as plastic pants or tight wraps, unless directed by your doctor. Covering the skin can increase absorption and raise the risk of side effects.
• Do not use Elocon Lotion on your face, groin, or underarms unless your healthcare provider has said it is appropriate. These areas have thinner skin and a higher risk of thinning of the skin or skin atrophy. Do not apply to areas with active skin infections unless your doctor is also treating the infection.
• If you miss a dose, apply it when you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not use extra lotion to make up for it.
• If your skin condition does not improve after a few days or becomes worse, seek medical advice.

Some mild or common side effects of Elocon Lotion include:

• Burning or stinging at the application site.
• Itching.
• Dryness, irritation, or redness.
• Folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles).

Some individuals may experience serious side effects while using Elocon Lotion. These side effects may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help:

• Signs of allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
• Thinning of the skin or stretch marks.
• Blurred vision, eye pain, or symptoms of glaucoma or cataracts.
• Signs of a skin infection that gets worse, including pain, drainage, or spreading redness.
• Symptoms of HPA axis suppression or Cushing’s syndrome, such as fatigue, weight gain, or mood changes.
• Hypertrichosis (unusual hair growth).
• Worsening of psoriasis or new skin reactions.

These are not all of the possible side effects of Elocon Lotion. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.

Before starting Elocon Lotion, it is crucial to discuss any existing health conditions with your healthcare provider. You should be sure that your healthcare provider is aware of all your medical conditions, including if you have:

• A history of skin infections or contact dermatitis.
• Any viral, bacterial, or fungal skin infections.
• Eye conditions such as glaucoma or cataracts.
• Problems with your immune system.
• A history of allergic reaction to corticosteroids or any ingredients in the lotion.
• Large surface area of skin needing treatment.
• A condition made worse by steroids, such as certain forms of psoriasis.

Many people notice improvement in redness, itching, and irritation within a few days of regular use. If your symptoms do not improve within two weeks, speak with your healthcare professional.

• Other topical corticosteroids or anti-inflammatory skin products.
• Oral or injectable steroids may increase the risk of systemic effects.
• Products applied to the same skin area, including medicated shampoos, over-the-counter lotions, or acne treatments.

Elocon Lotion should be used during pregnancy only if the benefits outweigh potential risks, and the smallest amount should be used for the shortest time needed.
