No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Elomet 0.1% Ointment should only be used according to the directions and duration prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall. Apply a thin layer to the affected skin once daily, gently rubbing it into the skin until it is absorbed. Wash your hands after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and avoid applying it to broken or infected skin unless specifically directed.

Dosage

The amount and duration of use for Elomet 0.1% Ointment will be determined by your doctor based on the location, extent, and severity of your skin condition. Treatment with potent corticosteroids such as mometasone furoate is generally limited to short courses, and your doctor will advise you on the maximum duration of continuous use to reduce the risk of skin thinning and other side effects. Do not use more often or for longer than prescribed.

Shelf Life

Elomet 0.1% Ointment is generally stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube or carton before use, and do not use it if the date has passed.

Relevant Information

Elomet 0.1% Ointment is a potent corticosteroid intended for short-term use to bring flare-ups of eczema, psoriasis, or other inflammatory skin conditions under control. Long-term or excessive use of potent topical steroids can lead to thinning of the skin and other local side effects, so your doctor will typically review your progress and may recommend switching to a milder moisturiser-based regimen once symptoms improve. Patients should not use this medicine on their own initiative beyond what has been prescribed.
