How it works
Ezimet-S Ointment is a combination of Mometasone and Salicylic acid. Mometasone works by decreasing the release of certain substances that cause swelling and irritation. It also works by suppressing or partially preventing the effect of the immune system. Salicylic acid works by softening and loosening the scaly, or thickened skin which, in turn, causes shedding of the outer layer of skin.
