Flumetasone is a glucocorticoid used in the treatment of skin disorders. It is a synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive abilities.

Flumetasone works by decreasing the body's immune response, reducing inflammation and redness. It is a potent glucocorticoid, meaning it has a strong effect on the body's immune system.

Side Effects

Like all medications, flumetasone can cause side effects. These may include skin thinning, stretch marks, and changes in skin color. More serious side effects can include adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome.
