Description

Flucort® Skin Cream is manufactured by Glenmark Gracewell Division and used to treat inflammatory skin conditions. Flucort® Skin Cream contains an active ingredient called Fluocinolone Acetonide. Fluocinolone Acetonide is a corticosteroid (also known as glucocorticoid derivative) with strong anti-inflammatory, vasoconstrictive, and anti-itching properties. While Fluocinolone Acetonide helps reduce symptoms of skin disorders and decrease flare-ups, it does not fight the cause of the disease itself.

Indications:

- inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses;

- allergic reactions on the skin including rash, itching and dry patches;

- eczema;

- psoriasis;

- Seborrheic dermatitis;

- chronic eczematous otitis externa;

- moderate, refractory Atopic dermatitis.

MOA (mechanism of action):

Fluocinolone Acetonide inhibits the production of phospholipase A2, therefore reduces the formation of arachidonic acid. Inhibition of arachidonic acid prevents the growth of the main products in inflammation – histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, and cytokines. Lack of these mediators of inflammation reduces existing inflammations and prevents occurrence of new flare-ups.

Dosage

Flucort® Skin Cream is normally applied to the skin 1-2 times a day, usually for 7-14 days.

Before you apply the cream, ensure the affected area is clean and dry.

Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area. Wash your hands before and after using Flucort® Skin Cream.
