Enzo-S Cream

Introduction

Enzo-S is a topical medication that combines the active ingredients Mometasone and Salicylic Acid. It is available as a prescription medication and is commonly referred to by its generic name.

Uses

Enzo-S is primarily used to treat certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. It helps reduce inflammation, itching, and scaling associated with these conditions.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and administration of Enzo-S should be determined by your healthcare provider. Generally, a thin layer of the cream should be applied to the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and avoid using more than the recommended amount.

Mechanism of Action

Mometasone, one of the active ingredients in Enzo-S, belongs to a group of medications called corticosteroids. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response in the skin. Salicylic Acid, the other active ingredient, helps to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and reducing scaling.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include burning, stinging, itching, or redness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

Serious side effects are rare, but if you experience severe skin irritation, allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, or swelling), or signs of infection (such as increased pain, redness, or pus), seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare provider about all the medications, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal products, that you are currently taking. Some medications may interact with Enzo-S, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

Precautions

Before using Enzo-S, inform your healthcare provider if you have any known allergies to Mometasone, Salicylic Acid, or any other ingredients in the cream.

Additionally, avoid applying Enzo-S to broken or infected skin, as this may increase the absorption of the medication and potentially lead to systemic side effects. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes.

Storage

Enzo-S should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat and moisture. Keep the medication out of the reach of children and pets.

Patient Tips

• Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on how to use Enzo-S.
• Avoid using more than the recommended amount of the cream.
• If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
• Do not use Enzo-S for longer than prescribed, as prolonged use may increase the risk of side effects.
• If you have any concerns or questions about your treatment with Enzo-S, consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.
