Fluprednidene
Fluprednidene is a glucocorticoid used in the treatment of skin diseases. It is a type of steroid that reduces inflammation and immune responses. Fluprednidene is often used in combination with antibiotics or antifungal medications to treat skin conditions that are also infected with bacteria or fungi.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Fluprednidene is a synthetic glucocorticoid. It works by decreasing the body's immune response, which reduces inflammation and redness. It also inhibits the production of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Fluprednidene is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It is also used to treat skin conditions that are infected with bacteria or fungi, when combined with appropriate antibiotics or antifungal medications.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all medications, Fluprednidene can cause side effects. These may include skin irritation, burning, itching, and dryness. In rare cases, it can cause more serious side effects, such as skin thinning, stretch marks, and hair growth.
Contraindications[edit | edit source]
Fluprednidene should not be used by people who are allergic to it or to any other ingredients in the product. It should also not be used on skin areas with viral, fungal, or bacterial infections unless it is being used in combination with appropriate treatment for these infections.
