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 dress
