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 corticosteroids are handled through
pharmacokinetic
pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids.
Corticosteroids are bound
