Momate .1% Lotion

Momate Lotion 0.1% is a prescription-strength topical corticosteroid formulated with Mometasone Furoate 0.1%, designed specifically for inflammatory and allergic skin conditions affecting the scalp and hair-bearing areas. Its lightweight, non-greasy lotion base allows easy application, rapid absorption, and effective penetration without leaving residue—making it ideal for areas where creams or ointments are difficult to apply.

Mometasone Furoate is a potent anti-inflammatory corticosteroid that works by suppressing the release of inflammatory mediators responsible for redness, swelling, itching, and irritation. Momate Lotion helps calm flare-ups quickly while reducing discomfort associated with chronic dermatological conditions.

This lotion is widely prescribed for scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, lichen planus, and other steroid-responsive dermatoses. Its targeted action makes it particularly effective in relieving itching and scaling on the scalp caused by inflammatory skin disorders.

• Reducing inflammation and redness
