Benefits of Emcort Lotion
- In Eczema
- Emcort calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.
- In Dermatitis
- Emcort settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.
- In Psoriasis
- Emcort reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
- In Skin inflammation and itching
- Emcort relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
- In Acne
- Emcort unblocks pores, reduces the bacteria and inflammation behind spots and helps prevent new ones forming. Improvement is gradual over several weeks.
- In Blackheads and whiteheads
- Emcort clears the blocked pores that form blackheads and whiteheads and keeps new ones from forming.
- In Pigmentation
- Emcort lightens dark marks left behind by spots, sun exposure or hormonal changes, evening out the skin tone over weeks of regular use.
- In Rough skin
- Emcort smooths rough, uneven skin by speeding up the shedding of dead surface cells.
How Emcort Lotion works
This medicine combines 2 active ingredients: Mometasone and Salicylic Acid. Mometasone damps down the inflammation in the skin, which relieves redness, swelling and itching. Salicylic Acid unblocks the pores and speeds up the turnover of skin cells, so fewer spots form.
How to take Emcort Lotion
Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer and rub it in gently. Wash your hands before and after use, unless your hands are the area being treated. This is for use on the skin only — do not swallow it. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. It can cause severe irritation when far too much cream is applied; an oral retinoid taken in excess can cause headache, vomiting and liver injury. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Emcort Lotion
Most side effects of Emcort are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Burning or stinging
- Thinning of the skin
- Stretch marks
- Acne
- Change in skin colour
- Dryness
- Peeling
- Redness
- Increased sensitivity to sunlight
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions
Use it only on the area and for the number of days your doctor specified. Potent steroid creams thin the skin permanently when used for too long. Never use a potent steroid cream on the face, the groin or the underarms unless your doctor has specifically told you to — the skin there is thin and absorbs much more. Do not use it on an infection. A steroid on ringworm, impetigo or herpes makes the infection worse while hiding it. Do not use leftover cream on a new rash, and never pass it to someone else. Stop and see your doctor if the area becomes more painful, weepy or crusted. Acne often looks worse for the first two to four weeks before it improves. This is expected — do not stop. Use sunscreen every day. These medicines make the skin burn much more easily. Oral isotretinoin must never be taken in pregnancy — it causes severe birth defects. Reliable contraception and the pregnancy tests your dermatologist requires are essential before, during and after the course. Start with alternate nights and build up, and do not use more than a pea-sized amount for the whole face. Do not combine several strong acne actives at once without advice — the irritation compounds.
Do not take Emcort if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for untreated bacterial, fungal or viral skin infections. Not for use in or around the eyes. Oral retinoids are absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy and in anyone who might become pregnant without a pregnancy prevention programme. Topical retinoids are avoided in pregnancy.
Interactions with other medicines
No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin. Do not combine with other peeling agents or with waxing and harsh scrubs. Oral retinoids must not be combined with tetracycline antibiotics.
How to store Emcort Lotion
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.
Quick tips for Emcort Lotion
- Apply a thin layer.
- A fingertip's worth covers an area about the size of two adult palms.
- Use a plain moisturiser generously alongside it; that is what keeps eczema away between flares.
- Ask your doctor for a written plan of how long to use it and when to step down.
- Apply retinoids at night to clean, dry skin, and moisturise afterwards.
- Give it at least eight to twelve weeks before judging whether it works.
- Do not pick or squeeze spots.
- That is what leaves scars.
