mometasone | Momat ointment 0.1%, 15 g

Release form

Ointment for external use.

Pharmacological action

MOMAT - local anti-inflammatory, glucocorticoid, antipruritic.

Pharmacodynamics

Mometasone is a synthetic GCS with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and antiexudative effects. GCS induce the release of proteins that inhibit phospholipase A2 and commonly known as lipocortins, which control the biosynthesis of inflammatory mediators such as PG and RT by inhibiting the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption is negligible. 8 hours after a single application to intact skin (without an occlusive dressing), about 0.4% (cream) and 0.7% (ointment) of the active substance are found in the systemic circulation. Mometasone is extensively metabolized in the liver, excreted mainly by the kidneys and in small quantities with bile. T1 / 2 is approximately 5.8 hours (ointment).
