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 a valuable
therapeutic adjunct for treatment of resistant dermatoses (see DOSAGE
AND ADMINISTRATION).
Once absorbed through the skin, topical co
