Most Ointment

Most Ointment is a topical prescription ointment from Daksh Pharma that contains mometasone, a corticosteroid medicine used on the skin. Each tube contains the strength of mometasone as labelled on the pack, and the pack contains 10 tubes. Most Ointment is used to help relieve redness, itching, swelling, and irritation from corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and allergic rashes.

How it works: Mometasone is a corticosteroid that lowers inflammation in the skin by calming the immune response that causes redness, swelling, and itching. As an ointment, Most Ointment also helps seal moisture into the skin, which can make it more useful on dry, cracked, or thickened patches.

Most Ointment is an ointment, so it is usually thicker and greasier than a cream and can be a better choice for dry, scaly, or very inflamed skin. Because this product is supplied as labelled rather than a lower-strength sibling form, a doctor may choose it when a more occlusive ointment base is preferred for targeted skin treatment.

• Eczema
• Dermatitis
• Allergic skin rash
• Itchy inflamed skin
• Psoriasis on limited areas if prescribed

• Use Most Ointment only on the skin, exactly as your doctor prescribed.
• Wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of Most Ointment.
• Gently rub the ointment in unless your prescriber told you to leave it on as a film.
• Apply only to the affected area; do not use it on large areas unless directed.
• Wash your hands after applying Most Ointment, unless your hands are the treated area.
• Do not cover with a bandage or tight dressing unless your doctor tells you to.

Most Ointment provides mometasone in the exact strength listed on the tube, and the right amount depends on the size and location of the rash. It is usually applied once daily unless your doctor gives a different schedule, and there is no set maximum number of applications per day beyond the prescribed plan. Your clinician decides the dose, duration, and whether this specific strength is appropriate for your skin condition.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Mometasone may include:

• Burning or stinging where applied
• Itching
• Dry skin
• Skin irritation
• Redness at the application site
• Thinning of skin with longer use, which may be more likely with stronger or prolonged use

• Use only on skin, not in the eyes, mouth, or vagina.
• Do not use Most Ointment on infected skin unless a doctor has told you to.
• Avoid using it under airtight dressings or on large body areas unless instructed, because more medicine can be absorbed.
• Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, because corticosteroids can sometimes affect blood sugar when used extensively.
• Use extra caution in children, who can absorb more medicine through the skin.
• Do not use it for longer than prescribed, since prolonged use raises the risk of skin thinning and other steroid effects.
• If your rash gets worse or does not improve, contact your prescriber rather than increasing use on your own.

• Other topical steroids applied to the same area
• Other medicines that suppress the immune system, when used extensively with topical steroids
• Strong skin products that irritate the area, such as harsh exfoliants or alcohol-based products
• Large-area use with drugs that can affect blood sugar, in people with diabetes or prediabetes

Store Most Ointment at room temperature, keep the tube tightly closed, and protect it from excessive heat and moisture.
