WHAT MONOVO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Monovo contains the active substance mometasone furoate, which belongs
to a group of medicines called
topical corticosteroids (or steroids).
Topical corticosteroids can be divided into four degrees of strength
or potency: mild, moderate, potent and
very potent. Monovo is classified as a “potent corticosteroid”.
In adults, adolescents and children, aged 6 years and older, Monovo is
used to reduce symptoms caused by
certain inflammatory skin disorders such as psoriasis (excluding
widespread plaque psoriasis) and atopic
dermatitis. This preparation is generally used to treat very dry,
scaly and cracked skin complaints. It is not a
cure for your condition, but should help to relieve your symptoms.

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Monovo is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of inflammatory skin
conditions which respond to external
treatment with glucocorticoids, such as atopic dermatitis and
psoriasis (excluding widespread plaque psoriasis).
Monovo should be preferably used to treat very dry, scaly and cracked
skin complaints where a topical mometasone
preparation is indicated.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Adults, including elderly patients, adolescents and children aged 6
years and older_:
A thin film of Monovo should be applied to the affected skin area once
daily.
Strong topical corticosteroids generally should not be applied to the
face without close monitoring by the physician.
Monovo should not be used for long periods (over 3 weeks) or on large
areas (over 20% of body surface area).
In children aged 6 years and older a maximum of 10% of the body
surface area should be treated. It should not be used
occlusively or intertriginously. Treatment duration is limited to a
maximum of 3 weeks.
Use of a weaker corticosteroid is often advisable when there is a
clinical improvement.
_Children below 6 years:_
Monovo is a potent group III glucocorticoid. It is not recommended for
use in children below 6 years due to insufficient
data on safety.
For application on the skin (cutaneous use).
