1. Fluocinonide

   Fluocinonide is a potent glucocorticoid steroid used topically as an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It relieves itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort. The usual prescription concentration is 0.05% as a topical cream, ointment, or gel. The application area should normally not be covered after application. In certain cases, the physician may recommend the use of an occlusive dressing after application to increase the rate and depth of absorption. The frequency of application depends on the condition being treated and the area affected, but most often it should be applied twice a day. Fluocinonide ranks as a "high-potency" topical corticosteroid. Minimal amounts should be used for a minimal length of time to avoid the occurrence of adverse effects. Fluocinonide should not be used if infection is present. It should not be applied to the eyes or to sensitive areas such as the genitals or anus. A common potential adverse effect is skin atrophy. Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids can produce reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression, manifestations of Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients.
