Background
Hydrocortisone is a low-potency topical and systemic corticosteroid. It has been classified as group A by Coopman et al. According the A-D grouping, patch-test reactions occur 6-7 times more frequently within well-defined groups of structurally related chemicals than between corticosteroids of different groups. Mometasone furoate is a white to off-white powder practically insoluble in water, slightly soluble in octanol, and moderately soluble in ethyl alcohol.
Each gram of ELOCON cream, 0.1%, contains: 1 mg mometasone furoate, USP in a cream base of hexylene glycol; phosphoric acid; propylene glycol stearate (55% monoester); stearyl alcohol and ceteareth-20; titanium dioxide; aluminum starch octenylsuccinate (Gamma Irradiated); white wax; white petrolatum; and purified water.
