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.
