TOPICAL STEROID CREAM (FLUOCINONIDE TOPICAL)

Topical Steroid Cream Information

Topical Steroid Cream is a popular drug that is also commonly known under the name of Fluocinonide. This drug, like any other topical steroids, is meant to reduce and to inhibit some of the actions that are attributed to harmful chemicals which are sometimes found in the human body. Topical Steroid Cream attacks chemicals that are known to cause swelling, redness and inflammation. These types of symptoms can be caused by several different medical conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and some allergic reactions.

If you feel that your condition has worsened or if it does not improve after a few weeks of treatment, you should alert your doctor at once. In the case of patients suffering from infections, they should be prescribed Topical Steroid Cream (Fluocinonide) along with another drug, because this drug is not effective in the treatment of infections.

Topical Steroid Cream (Fluocinonide) is a category C FDA pregnancy drug. Therefore, it has not been clearly established in what way a treatment with this drug affects a growing fetus. If you are pregnant or if you are planning to be so soon, you should ask your personal doctor if it is safe to start a treatment with Topical Steroid Cream. In case you need to take this drug during pregnancy, your doctor should prescribe you a much lower dose than the average one (and the length of your treatment should be shortened as much as possible). It has not been determined whether Topical Steroid Cream or any of its ingredients are able to pass into breast milk. You should not start taking this drug without your personal physician’s approval if you are breastfeeding an infant.

You should consult a pediatrician before you start giving Topical Steroid Cream to a child, because infants are far more sensitive than adults to the effects of this drug.

You should avoid using plastic dressings, bandages, or any type of diapers that prevent the air from circulating to the affected area (avoid occlusive dressings) unless you have been prescribed by your personal physician to use one. If you use an occlusive dressing, this is known to greatly increase the medicine amount that is absorbed by the patient’s body. If you have been prescribed to use an occlusive dressing during your treatment with Topical Steroid cream, you should avoid using it for more than 12 hours per day.

Avoid disobeying any of his or her instructions. If you fail to understand some of them, or if you need any additional information, you should ask a doctor, a pharmacist or a nurse.

You should carefully wash your hands (both of them) before and after you use the drug (unless you are taking Topical Steroid cream for a hand medical condition).

You should apply a small quantity of Topical Steroid Cream to the affected area. Gently rub the drug onto the skin until it is absorbed.

You must be careful while applying this drug on body areas where the skin normally creases (for example knees, armpits, and elbows). This type of areas is known to absorb a bigger amount of the drug. You should avoid applying this medicine to the mouth, eyes or any other mucous membranes.

If you have to protect the area that you are treating with Topical Steroid Cream, you should cover it with a breathable dressing (preferably a cotton-gauze one). If you are treating a child with this drug, avoid dressing him with diapers or plastic pants, because this could have harmful effects.  

You should use Topical Steroid Cream on a regular basis in order to get the best results from your treatment with this drug.
