DESCRIPTION
The topical corticosteroids constitute a class of primarily synthetic
steroids used as anti-inflammatory
and antipruritic agents. The steroids in this class include
triamcinolone acetonide. Triamcinolone
acetonide is designated chemically as
9-Fluoro-11β,16α,17,21-tetrahydroxypregna-1,4-diene-3,20-
dione cyclic 16,17-acetal with acetone. Graphic formula:
Each gram of 0.025% and 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide cream provides
0.25 mg or 1 mg of
triamcinolone acetonide, respectively, in a cream base containing
cetyl alcohol, isopropyl palmitate,
methyl paraben, mineral oil/lanolin alcohol, polysorbate 40, propyl
paraben, propylene glycol,
propylene glycol monostearate, purified water, sorbic acid, sorbitan
monopalmitate, stearyl alcohol and
xanthan gum.
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).
