Momeven-S Ointment 10 gm belongs to the ‘dermatological agents’ class primarily used to treat skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy, and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes, or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up, and itchy.

Momeven-S Ointment 10 gm is a combination of two medicines: Mometasone furoate and Salicylic acid. Mometasone furoate blocks prostaglandin production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammatory symptoms such as red, swollen, and itchy rashes. Salicylic acid breaks down the clumps of keratin (protein present on the skin), removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It enhances the absorption of Mometasone furoate. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory and topical antibacterial agent.

Momeven-S Ointment 10 gm is a combination of two medicines: Mometasone furoate and Salicylic acid. Mometasone furoate belongs to the corticosteroid class and has anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties. It blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers that cause the skin to become red, swollen, and itchy). Salicylic acid enhances the absorption of Mometasone furoate. It is a keratolytic medicine (softens, separates, and peels the skin layer), which breaks down the clumps of keratin, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It is also an anti-inflammatory and topical antibacterial agent.
