Mid-Potency Anti-inflammatory: Mometasone Furoate 0.1% effectively reduces skin inflammation with a balanced potency profile — stronger than hydrocortisone, less risky than Class I steroids for short-term use. Rapid Itch and Redness Relief: Provides fast symptomatic relief of pruritus (itching), erythema (redness), and oedema associated with eczema and dermatitis. Broad Indication Coverage: Indicated for atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis, and other steroid-responsive skin conditions. Once-Daily Dosing: Mometasone Furoate's pharmacokinetic profile allows effective once-daily application in most cases. Low Systemic Absorption: Cream formulation with low systemic absorption profile minimises risk of steroid-related systemic effects when used as prescribed. Fast-Acting Relief: Improvement of inflammatory symptoms typically observed within 24–48 hours of first application.

For external use only — use only under medical supervision with a valid prescription. 1. Apply a thin layer of Hivate Cream to the affected area once daily, or as directed by your physician. 2. Gently rub in until absorbed — do not use under airtight occlusive dressings unless specifically instructed. 3. Wash hands before and after application unless hands are the treated area. 4. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. 5. Do not apply to unaffected skin. Use only on areas specified by your doctor. 6. Do not use on the face for more than 5–7 days without explicit physician guidance — risk of skin thinning (atrophy) with prolonged facial use. 7. Do not use in skin folds (armpits, groin) for extended periods without supervision. 8. Do not use in children under 2 years old without paediatric guidance. 9. Complete the prescribed course; do not stop abruptly after prolonged use without physician advice. Contact the Derma.pk pharmacist team for further guidance.

Q: What conditions does Hivate Cream treat? A: Hivate Cream (Mometasone Furoate 0.1%) is prescribed for inflammatory skin conditions including atopic eczema, contact dermatitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis, and other corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Q: Is Hivate Cream a steroid? A: Yes. Mometasone Furoate 0.1% is a mid-potency (Class III) topical corticosteroid. It must be used exactly as prescribed and not extended beyond the recommended duration. Q: Can I use Hivate Cream on my face? A: Use on the face should be limited to short courses (5–7 days maximum) as prescribed by your dermatologist. Prolonged facial use risks skin thinning (atrophy), perioral dermatitis, and rosacea-like reactions. Q: Is Hivate Cream safe during pregnancy? A: Topical corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy only if the benefit justifies the potential risk. Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or nursing. Q: Can I use Hivate Cream under wraps or bandages? A: Avoid occlusive dressings unless specifically directed by your physician, as occlusion increases systemic absorption and skin thinning risk. Q: What are the risks of long-term use? A: Prolonged use without medical supervision may cause skin thinning, stretch marks, telangiectasia, and suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Always use under dermatologist guidance.
