Elocon
Elocon (generic name: Mometasone) is a synthetic glucocorticoid that is used topically on the skin. (The naturally-occurring glucocorticoid is cortisol or hydrocortisone which is produced by the adrenal gland.) Glucocorticoids have potent anti-inflammatory actions and also suppress the immune response. Mometasone was approved by the FDA in 1987.
There are no known drug interactions with Elocon (topical mometasone).
Elocon side effects
The most commonly noted side effects associated with Elocon mometasone are burning at the area of application, itching, irritation, or dryness. All of these are quite unusual, however.
Absorption of potent glucocorticoids from the skin into the body can lead to an increased glucose concentration in blood (especially worrisome in diabetics) and symptoms or signs of glucocorticoid excess (weight gain, redistribution of fat to the face, trunk and back, etc).
Topical application of glucocorticoids may suppress the body’s own production of cortisol by the adrenal glands. This is especially true for highly potent products. Elocon Mometasone is considered an intermediate potency glucocorticoid and would be less likely to have this effect than the high potency products.
