Hivate (0.1%) 10g Ointment

Mometasone furoate is a topical steroid commonly used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, as well as allergic skin reactions and irritant contact dermatitis. When applied topically, it reduces inflammation locally, providing relief from inflammatory symptoms. Its anti-inflammatory action is due to its ability to suppress the body's immune response by inhibiting the release of inflammatory chemicals from immune cells. Mometasone furoate acts as a glucocorticoid, meaning it can inhibit the production of inflammatory substances and suppress the migration of inflammatory cells into affected areas. Similar to the natural hormone cortisol, mometasone furoate has cortisol-like activity, but it is typically stronger than cortisol, making it effective even in small doses.
