Corticosteroids are a class of compounds comprising steroid hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex, and their synthetic analogs. They are primarily used for their anti-inflammatory and/or immunosuppressive effects. pms-CLOBETASOL (clobetasol propionate) is effective in the treatment of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses primarily due to its anti-inflammatory, anti- pruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions. Its exact mechanism of action however, has not been fully elucidated. Pharmacokinetics: As with all topical corticosteroids, clobetasol propionate can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin may increase percutaneous absorption. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Once absorbed, topical corticosteroids enter pharmacokinetic 3 pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. They are primarily metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys and in the bile. Clobetasol propionate cream has been shown to depress the plasma levels of adrenal cortical hormones following repeated nonocclusive application to diseased skin in patients with psoriasis and eczematous dermatitis. These effects have been shown to be transient and reversible upon c Прочетете целия документ
