Uses of Santomet Cream 0.1% 5gm

Santomet Cream 0.1% 5gm is a steroid used in several forms. Creams, ointments and lotions treat inflamed, itchy skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis that have not responded to milder treatments. The nasal spray is used to prevent and treat hay fever and other allergic rhinitis, and to shrink nasal polyps. An inhaled form is also used to prevent asthma symptoms.

How Santomet Cream 0.1% 5gm works

Mometasone is a corticosteroid. When applied to the skin or sprayed into the nose, it reduces the activity of the immune cells and chemicals that drive inflammation, which eases redness, swelling, itching and congestion. Very little reaches the rest of the body when it is used as directed.

Possible side effects

Used correctly, Santomet Cream 0.1% 5gm rarely causes problems. Possible side effects include:

• Burning, stinging or itching where applied
• Dry skin
• Thinning of the skin or stretch marks with long use
• Nosebleeds or nasal irritation (spray)
• Headache (spray)

Stop using it and see a doctor if the treated skin becomes infected, oozing or more painful. With the spray, report blurred vision or persistent nosebleeds.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not use skin products on the face, in skin folds or on large areas for long periods unless your doctor advises, and never use them as a fairness or skin-lightening cream.
• Use the smallest amount for the shortest time needed, and do not cover the area with a tight dressing unless told to.
• Do not apply it to untreated skin infections, acne, rosacea or the skin around the mouth.
• Children absorb steroids through the skin more easily, so use it in children only as advised by a doctor.
• Ask your doctor before using it during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
