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

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
