Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Pms Mometasone (Mometasone-furoate).
Diabetes: When mometasone is used over large areas of the body for prolonged periods or under dressings that don't breathe it is possible that enough medication will absorb into the bloodstream to affect blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, your doctor should closely monitor your condition while you are using mometasone, as it may affect blood sugar control.
Eyes: Use Pms Mometasone (Mometasone-furoate) with care on lesions close to the eye. Getting the medication in the eye can increase the risk of increased eye pressure, Glaucoma, or Cataracts. Report any changes in vision or eye pain to your doctor.
Infections: Topical (skin-applied) corticosteroids may increase the risk of developing a skin infection. Mometasone should not be used on any infected area until the infection has cleared. If you notice symptoms of a skin infection such as redness, warmth, itching, pus, or swelling, contact your doctor.
Internal absorption: Medications containing topical (applied to the skin) corticosteroids such as mometasone can be absorbed into the bloodstream if used for prolonged periods of time on large areas of the body. Pms Mometasone (Mometasone-furoate) should not be covered with an airtight bandage that does not breathe.
Medical treatment: Inform all medical professionals that you see that you have been using topical (skin-applied) corticosteroids.
Poor circulation: If you have poor blood circulation, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using Pms Mometasone (Mometasone-furoate).
Prolonged use: Using topical corticosteroid medication for a long period of time can cause skin to thin or soften or cause stretch marks. Talk to your doctor about how long you should use Pms Mometasone (Mometasone-furoate).
Thinning of skin: Prolonged use of topical corticosteroid products may produce thinning of the skin and tissues under it. If you notice this effect, contact your doctor.
Pregnancy: Pms Mometasone (Mometasone-furoate) should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Pms Mometasone (Mometasone-furoate), contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: It is not known if mometasone passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking Pms Mometasone (Mometasone-furoate), it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: Children may be more likely to experience side effects from Pms Mometasone (Mometasone-furoate). The risk of side effects increases when large body areas are treated, when treatment lasts for a long time, and when dressings that don't breathe are used. In these situations, side effects similar to those caused by oral corticosteroids (e.g., growth suppression) may occur. Mometasone is not recommended for use in children less than 18 years of age.
