PHARMACODYNAMICS: Mometasone Furoate, a synthetic corticosteroid,
exhibits anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and
vasoconstrictive properties. Corticosteroids diffuse across cell
membranes and bind with specific cytoplasmic receptors.
These complexes then enter the cell nucleus, bind to DNA (chromatin),
and stimulate transcription of messenger RNA
(mRNA) and subsequent protein synthesis of various inhibitory enzymes
responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of
topical corticosteroid.
PHARMACOKINETICS: Corticosteroids are extensively bound to plasma
protein. Only unbound corticosteroids have
pharmacological effects or are metabolized.They are metabolized mainly
in the liver and also in the kidneys, and are
excreted in the urine.When applied topically, particularly to large
areas,when the skin is broken or under occlusive
dressings, corticosteroids may be absorbed in sufficient amounts to
produce systemic effects.
INDICATIONS: _Elosone Cream & Ointment 0.1% w/w_ - Indicated for the
relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations
of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses. _ Elosone Lotion 0.1% w/v_ -
Indicated for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic
manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses, which includes
scalp lesions.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Elosone is contraindicated in patients who are
sensitive to Mometasone Furoate or to other
corticosteroids or to any component of these preparations. Risk vs.
benefit should be considered when the following
medical problems exist: allergy to corticosteroids, infection at
treatment site, skin atrophy, cataracts, diabetes mellitus,
glaucoma and tuberculosis.
