Product Elements:
Fluocinolone acetonide fluocinolone acetonide anhydrous citric acid propylene glycol fluocinolone acetonide fluocinolone acetonide
Indications and Usage:
Indications and usage fluocinolone acetonide topical solution usp, 0 .0 1 % is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
General Precautions:
General systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis suppression, manifestations of cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients. conditions which augment systemic absorption include the application of the more potent steroids, use over large surface areas, prolonged use, and the addition of occlusive dressings. therefore, patients receiving a large dose of a potent topical steroid applied to a large surface area or under an occlusive dressing should be evaluated periodically for evidence of hpa axis suppression by using the urinary free cortisol and acth stimulation tests. if hpa axis suppression is noted, an attempt should be made to withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute a less potent steroid. recovery of hpa axis function is generally prompt and complete upon discontinuation of the drug. infrequently, signs and symptoms of steroid withdrawal may occur, requ

Dosage and Administration:
Dosage and administration fluocinolone acetonide topical solution usp, 0.01 % is generally applied to the affected area as a thin film from two to four times daily depending on the severity of the condition. in hairy sites, the hair should be parted to allow direct contact with the lesion. occlusive dressings may be used for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions. if an infection develops, the use of occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted.
Contraindications:
Contraindications topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation.
Adverse Reactions:
Adverse reactions the following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids, but may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings. these reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: burning hypertrichosis maceration of the skin itching acneiform eruptions secondary infection irritation hypopigmentation skin atrophy dryness perioral dermatitis striae folliculitis allergic contact dermititis millaria
Adverse Reactions Table:
| Burning | Hypertrichosis | Maceration of the skin |
| Itching | Acneiform eruptions | Secondary infection |
| Irritation | Hypopigmentation | Skin atrophy |
| Dryness | Perioral dermatitis | Striae |
| Folliculitis | Allergic contact dermititis | Millaria |
Use in Pregnancy:
Pregnancy category c corticosteroids are generally teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systematically at relatively low dosage levels. the more potent corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after denna1 app1ication in laboratory animals. there are no adequate and wel1 controlled studies in pregnant women on teratogenic effects from topically applied corticosteroids. therefore, topical corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. drugs of this class should not be used extensively on pregnant patients, in large amounts, or for prolonged periods of time.
Pediatric Use:
Pediatric use pediatric patients may demonstrate greater susceptibility to topical corticosteroid-induced hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis suppression and cushing's syndrome than mature patients because of a larger skin surface area to body weight ratio. hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis suppression, cushing's syndrome, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children receiving topical corticosteroids. manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, low plasma cortisol levels, and absence of response to acth stimulation. manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema. administration of topical corticosteroids to children should be limited to the least amount compatible with an effective therapeutic regimen. chronic corticosteroid therapy may interfere with the growth and development of children.
Overdosage:
Overdosage topically applied corticosteroids can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to produce systemic effects. (see precautions . )

Clinical Pharmacology:
Clinical pharmacology topical corticosteroids share anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and vasoconstrictive actions. the mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of the topical corticosteroids is unclear. various laboratory methods, including vasoconstrictor assays, are used to compare and predict potencies and/or clinical efficacies of the topical corticosteroids. there is some evidence to suggest that a recognizable correlation exists between vasoconstrictor potency and therapeutic efficacy in man. pharmacokinetics the extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle, the integrity of the epidermal barrier, and the use of occlusive dressings. topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption. occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids. thus, occlusive dressings may be

(see dosage and administration .) once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are handled through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systematically administered corticosteroids. corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. corticosteroids are metabolized primarily in the liver and are then excreted by the kidneys. some of the topical corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted into the bile.
