Question: is elocon the same as mometasone?
Answer: Elocon cream and ointment both contain the active ingredient mometasone furoate 0.1%, which is a type of medicine known as a topical corticosteroid. Mometasone ointment is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine. Mometasone is a potent steroid used to reduce inflammation in the skin.
