Product Overview

Almeta Ointment 0.1% is a medium-potency topical corticosteroid ointment manufactured in Japan, used to treat skin inflammation and itching. It contains the active ingredient alclometasone dipropionate (0.1%), a strength steroid that reduces redness, swelling, and discomfort caused by eczema, dermatitis, and allergic rashes. This Japanese-made ointment is trusted by dermatologists for its effectiveness and safety profile. It provides relief from itching and irritation while being gentle enough for sensitive skin areas (such as the face) or use on children under medical supervision.

Dosage Guidelines

• Clean and dry the affected area before applying the ointment.
  
• Apply a thin layer of Almeta Ointment to the affected skin 1 to 3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
  
• For external use only – avoid contact with eyes, inside the nose, and mouth.
  
• Do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing unless instructed by a doctor.
  
• Do not apply to infected, broken, or ulcerated skin (such as open wounds or sores).
  
• Use this ointment only for the duration recommended. If symptoms do not improve after 1–2 weeks or if they worsen, stop use and consult a healthcare professional.
  

Possible Side Effects

Almeta Ointment is generally well-tolerated when used as directed. Some users might experience mild, temporary skin irritation at the application site, such as slight burning, stinging, itching, or dryness.

Prolonged or excessive use of topical steroids can cause side effects like skin thinning, discoloration, acne, or increased hair growth in treated areas, though these are unlikely when using a medium-strength steroid for a short period. Serious side effects are rare; however, if you notice signs of an allergic reaction (such as rash, hives, or swelling) or signs of infection (such as pus or spreading redness), or if your condition worsens, stop use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.

FAQ

Q: What should I do if I miss a dose (forget to apply)?
A: If you forget to apply a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s almost time for your next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply a double amount to make up for the missed dose.
Q: Is Almeta Ointment safe to use on the face or on children?
A: Yes, Almeta Ointment is considered gentle enough for use on delicate skin areas like the face or on children’s skin when used as directed. In fact, it is often prescribed in Japan for those purposes due to its mild potency. However, we recommend using it sparingly on the face or on children, and only for short periods, under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Avoid long-term continuous use on especially sensitive areas to minimize the risk of side effects. If you are unsure about using Almeta on a specific area or for a child, please consult a doctor first.
