Store at room temperature. Do not freeze. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
Warnings and precautions for fluocinolone
- Fluocinolone should not be used on open wounds or areas with skin infections
- Fluocinolone is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its components
- Caution should be exercised when using fluocinolone in patients with active untreated infections, as it may suppress the immune response. Additionally, long-term use of a steroid like fluocinolone on large areas of the body should be avoided due to potential systemic absorption and adverse effects
- Monitor for signs of adrenal insufficiency during treatment with fluocinolone, especially when used for prolonged periods or on extensive areas of skin
- Don’t use fluocinolone cream to treat perioral dermatitis (rash around the mouth)
- Prolonged use of fluocinolone may cause side effects, such as thinning of the skin, skin discolouration, and increased risk of infections
- Use with caution with patients with preexisting skin atrophy
- It is important to avoid contact with the eyes when using fluocinolone
- Parents of pediatric patients should be advised not to use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants on a child being treated in the diaper area, as these garments may constitute occlusive dressings
- Adverse reactions are reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids, but may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings.These reactions include: burning perioral dermatitis, contact dermatitis, folliculitis skin atrophy and striae
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding before starting treatment
Drug interactions of fluocinolone
There are some potential interactions to consider:
- Using multiple topical medications simultaneously can increase the absorption of fluocinolone through the skin, leading to an increased risk of side effects. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any other topical products you are using, including over-the-counter creams, ointments, or lotions
- Concurrent use of oral or injectable corticosteroids with fluocinolone may increase the risk of systemic side effects such as adrenal suppression, Cushing’s syndrome (roundness of your face, weight gain, or a hump between your shoulders) and immunosuppression. Close monitoring and adjustment of dosage may be required if both medications are necessary
- Concurrent use of fluocinolone and anticoagulants e.g. warfarin may increase the risk of bleeding. It is important to closely monitor for any signs of bleeding, such as easy bruising or prolonged bleeding from cuts or injuries, and seek medical attention if necessary
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. Always inform a healthcare professional about all prescription drugs, supplements, and vitamins you are taking before starting fluocinolone. They can provide guidance on any potential interactions and adjust your medication or dosages if necessary.
Possible side effects of fluocinolone
Common side effects of fluocinolone may include burning, itching, irritation, or redness at the application site. If these side effects persist or worsen, it is important to contact a healthcare provider.
