Momate

Momate is a medium-potency topical corticosteroid containing Mometasone Furoate. It exhibits anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties to reduce swelling, redness, and itching associated with skin conditions. In its nasal spray form, it manages allergic rhinitis symptoms by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages.

Dosage by Body Weight

For topical formulations, apply a thin film to the affected skin areas once daily. Do not use with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician. For nasal spray, the typical dose is 1 to 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Topical steroids are not dosed by body weight; pediatric usage requires strict medical supervision to avoid systemic absorption.
