It contains mometasone furoate, the same active ingredient as Topcort Cream, and is a topical steroid drug with a strong action to calm inflammation such as itching and swelling.

The strength of topical steroids is ranked in five levels, from group 1 (strongest) to group 5 (weak), and  Topcort Cream  is classified in group 2 “very strong” among them, and has a high effect on the affected area. You can expect results.

Characteristics of Topcort Cream

Topcort Cream is a topical steroid medicine that is highly effective against inflammation accompanied by strong itching of the skin such as atopy and eczema. It is classified as “extremely strong” as a topical steroid, and even short-term use can be expected to soothe skin inflammation and alleviate symptoms.

Also, as mentioned above, Topcort Cream is classified as “extremely powerful”, but since it is a topical drug that exerts its effect just by applying it directly to the affected area, systemic side effects may occur due to its local action. It is characterized by being difficult.

Topcort Cream is classified as a symptomatic drug that alleviates the symptoms of the disease, so it cannot cure the disease from the root. However, by suppressing symptoms such as itching and redness, it is possible to prevent further deterioration of the current condition and prepare the body for improvement of symptoms.

Effective for skin itching, redness, etc.

Topcort Cream ,which contains mometasone furoate as an active ingredient, is an anti-inflammatory drug that has a strong action to suppress inflammation and allergic symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling of the skin. It is a topical drug that exerts its effect when applied directly to the affected area where symptoms are appearing, and its immediate effect on the affected area is extremely superior to that of oral drugs.

People with symptoms such as atopic dermatitis often scratch the affected area because they can’t stand the itch, which makes the symptoms worse. For such symptoms, Topcort Cream is expected to prevent the deterioration of symptoms by suppressing itching with excellent immediate effect.

Effectiveness can be expected even in areas with severe symptoms and areas with thick skin

A Topcort Cream containing mometasone furoate, which is ranked second from the top in terms of strength among topical steroids in terms of drug strength, causes thickened skin and affected areas with severe symptoms. It is also highly effective for affected areas.

In addition, when using on affected areas with thick skin, soften the skin by warming the affected area after bathing, etc., since the absorption of the ingredients into the affected area will be better than usual, so it will be better than when using normally. You can expect even higher results.

Some people may be worried about the side effects of steroidal medicines that are “very strong”. However, topcoat cream is a type of topical drug that is applied directly to the affected area, so unlike oral medications, it has a strong local effect on the affected area and is less likely to cause systemic side effects.
