Is mometasone furoate cream available over-the-counter without a prescription?

Answer by  rosieposey78 (1304)

Mometasone furoate cream (Elocon) is synthetic corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and is prescribed to help treat itching as found in rash, allergies, psoriasis, dermatitis, or eczema. It is not currently available without a prescription but hydrocortisone cream is available over-the-counter and can be used in the short term for relief of itching.

Mometasone furoate is available over the counter without a prescription. Generic brands that include mometasone furoate as the key medical ingredient are available, including elocon, as a cream, and nasonex as a spray. It is best to consult with a physician before using the products, but it is widely available.

No. Mometasone furoate (0. 1%) cream is only available by a qualified doctor's prescription, in either 15 or 45 gram tubes, for dermatologic use in relieving inflammation, itching, and the like.

You will need to talk to your doctor about it, or go to the drug store and ask them. I hope this helps.
