Overview

Fluocinolone cream provides effective relief from the symptoms of inflammatory and allergic skin conditions. Its formulation is designed to minimize symptoms quickly while being gentle enough for use on sensitive skin areas.

Fluocinolone 0.025%-20g Uses

Fluocinolone 0.025%-20g cream is prescribed for:

  • The treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.
  • Managing psoriasis symptoms.
  • Alleviating the itching and redness associated with various skin allergies.

How Fluocinolone 0.025%-20g Works

Fluocinolone acts by suppressing the immune response in affected skin areas, particularly the production of substances that cause inflammation and allergic symptoms. It reduces the swelling, itching, and redness of the skin by inhibiting inflammatory chemicals released by the immune system, thereby providing relief and promoting healing.

  • Apply a thin layer of Fluocinolone 0.025%-20g cream to the affected area of the skin as directed by your healthcare provider, typically two to three times a day.
  • Before application, clean and dry the affected area.
  • Use the medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not apply more than directed or use for longer than prescribed, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
  • After applying the cream, wash your hands unless the hands are the treated area.
