DESCRIPTION:
Fluocinolone Acetonide Ointment 0.025% is intended for topical
administration. The active component
is the corticosteroid Fluocinolone Acetonide USP
(Pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione, 6,9-difluoro-11,21-
dihydroxy-16,17-[(1-methylethylidene)bis(oxy)]-, (6α,11β,16α)-. It
has an empirical formula of
C
H F O and a molecular weight of 452.49 (CAS Registry Number 67-73-2).
Each gram of the ointment contains 0.25 mg Fluocinolone Acetonide in a
base containing White
Petrolatum.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
Topical corticosteroids share anti-inflammatory, antipruritic 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 a
valuable therapeutic adjunct for treatment of resistant dermatoses.
(See DOSAGE AND
ADMINISTRATION). Once absorbed through the skin, topical
corticosteroids are handled through

pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered
corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are
bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees.
