Elosone-S 10Gm Ointment

Elosone-S 10Gm Ointment belongs to the ‘dermatological agents’ class primarily used to treat skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy, and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes, or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up, and itchy.

Elosone-S 10Gm Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Mometasone furoate and Salicylic acid. Mometasone furoate blocks prostaglandin production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammatory symptoms such as red, swollen, and itchy rashes. Salicylic acid breaks down the clumps of keratin (protein present on the skin), removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It enhances the absorption of Mometasone furoate. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory and topical antibacterial agent.

Elosone-S 10Gm Ointment is available for topical use (for skin). You should use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Elosone-S 10Gm Ointment may cause common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, irritation, and burning sensation at the application site.

Elosone-S 10Gm Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Mometasone furoate and Salicylic acid. Mometasone furoate belongs to the corticosteroid class and has anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties. It blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers that cause the skin to become red, swollen, and itchy). Salicylic acid enhances the absorption of Mometasone furoate. It is a keratolytic medicine (softens, separates, and peels the skin layer), which breaks down the clumps of keratin, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It is also an anti-inflammatory and topical antibacterial agent.

If you notice any persistent skin irritation or worsening skin disease, inform your doctor immediately. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you have pustular psoriasis (characterised by scaly, pus-filled bumps), rosacea (a skin condition affecting the face), acne, skin atrophy (thinning of the skin), dermatitis around the mouth, itching around the genitals, diaper rash, bacterial infections such as impetigo, tuberculosis (infection of the lung), and syphilis (a sexually transmitted disease).

• Do not scratch or peel over the affected skin, as it may spread the infection to other areas.
• Do not apply a bandage over the affected area unless your doctor suggests.
