Topical corticosteroid

Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory skin treatment

Indications / Uses

Hivate Lotion is prescribed for the management of:

Psoriasis – red, scaly, and itchy patches of skin

How Hivate Lotion Works

Mometasone Furoate binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the skin, modulating the immune response and reducing the production of inflammatory mediators.

This results in reduced redness, swelling, and itching, while helping to restore the skin barrier in affected areas.

Ideal for use in psoriatic plaques, eczema patches, and dermatitis lesions.
