Fluclorolone

Fluclorolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid used in the treatment of skin diseases. It is a type of corticosteroid, which are hormones that are naturally produced in the body by the adrenal glands. Synthetic glucocorticoids like fluclorolone are designed to mimic the effects of these natural hormones.

Uses

Fluclorolone is primarily used in the treatment of various skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response in the skin.

Side Effects

Like all medications, fluclorolone can cause side effects. These may include skin irritation, burning, and dryness. In rare cases, prolonged use of fluclorolone can lead to skin thinning or changes in skin color.

Mechanism of Action

Fluclorolone works by binding to and activating the glucocorticoid receptor, a type of protein found inside cells. This leads to changes in the way cells function, reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response.

History

Fluclorolone was first synthesized in the 1960s and has been used in the treatment of skin conditions for several decades.
