Elocom Information

Elocom and Generic Mometasone Furoate at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The brand Elocom is distributed by Organon in Canada and is available in many countries.

Generic mometasone furoate is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Mometasone:

Generic mometasone contains the same active ingredient as brand-name Elocom and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards. This means it is designed to work in the same way as Elocom. Studies have demonstrated similar absorption rates, but individual responses can still vary. If you have any questions about using generic mometasone, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, please visit Access to Generic Drugs in Canada | Canada.ca.

Dosage:

The brand Elocom and generic mometasone are available in topical forms as cream, lotion, and ointment, and they generally come in a strength of 0.1% mometasone furoate.

Your doctor will determine the safe and effective dosage based on your individual needs.

Usage:

Elocom is a type of medicine called a corticosteroid. It is used to treat red, itchy, and swollen skin caused by conditions like eczema and psoriasis. (source: the product labeling information | Elocom Cream, and the product labeling information | Elcom Location)

Mechanism of Action: Elocom is a potent topical corticosteroid used on your skin. When your skin gets inflamed (red, itchy, swollen), it's because certain chemicals in your body are signaling for help and causing this reaction. Elocom's active ingredient, mometasone furoate, works inside skin cells to block the production of inflammatory chemicals, including prostaglandins. By reducing these signals, Elocom helps to calm down the inflammation, reduce redness and swelling, and ease the itching, allowing your skin to heal. It also slightly narrows blood vessels in the area, further reducing swelling and redness.

It is crucial to take Elocom exactly as your doctor prescribes and read the product monograph in Canada. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

Side Effects:

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Elocom, it is essential to discuss all potential side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common Side Effects - These are examples of common side effects of Elocom, but others are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms:
• Burning: A sensation of heat or irritation on the skin.
• Itching (pruritus): An uncomfortable urge to scratch the skin.
• Thinning of the skin (skin atrophy): Especially with prolonged use.

Serious or rare Side Effects: Stop taking Elocom and seek immediate medical attention right away if you experience any of the following:
• Systemic effects (medication being absorbed into the bloodstream)
o Suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, potentially causing adrenal insufficiency
o Cushing’s syndrome (symptoms include rounding of the face, weight gain, and high blood pressure.)
o High blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
• Blurred vision
• Tunnel vision
• Eye pain
• Seeing halos around lights
• Severe skin irritation
• Signs of a skin infection (redness, warmth, swelling, pus.)

Individual reactions can vary. It is crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with your doctor for a complete and up-to-date list.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. It is crucial to discuss all of your medical conditions, past and present, and all the medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Elocom (mometasone).

Elocom (mometasone) is CONTRAINDICATED in the following situations and should not be used if:
• Hypersensitivity: Patients with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to mometasone furoate or any of the ingredients in the Elocom formulation should not use it.
• Untreated Viral, Bacterial, or Fungal Infections: Elocom should not be used on skin infections that are not being treated with appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
• Tuberculosis of the Skin: Corticosteroids can suppress the immune response, allowing the infection to spread and worsen.

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Elocom. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Elocom is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Rosacea: a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and bumps. Corticosteroids can exacerbate rosacea symptoms, leading to increased redness, telangiectasia (visible blood vessels), and pustules.
• Perioral Dermatitis: Elocom should not be used in the treatment of perioral dermatitis (redness and bumps around the mouth.)
• Acne or Acne Vulgaris: Elocom can worsen breakouts.
• Atrophy of the Skin: Elocom can further exacerbate pre-existing skin atrophy, making the skin more fragile.
• Chickenpox (Varicella) or Herpes Simplex: Elocom can lead to dissemination of the virus and prolonged

Children under 2 years of age:
Use in children under 2 years of age requires careful consideration and should only be done under the guidance of a doctor. Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Elocom. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Elocom is right for you.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Topical Corticosteroids during pregnancy should only be used if the benefits outweigh the risks. If you are pregnant, have become pregnant, are breastfeeding, or plan to breastfeed, it is crucial to discuss the risks and benefits of using Elocom with your doctor before taking it.

Frequently Asked Questions at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Why is Elocom more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Elocom, are generally lower in Canada than in the US due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations. In Canada, provincial and federal governments negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, which often results in lower costs compared to the U.S., where market forces play a more significant role.

Can I put Elocom on my face?

You can apply a thin layer of Elocom to the affected area once a day. Do not use this medication on your face for more than 5 days.
