DESCRIPTION
HYDROCORTISONE ACETATE 1% AND PRAMOXINE HCL 1% CREAM is a topical
preparation containing hydrocortisone acetate 1% w/w and pramoxine
hydrochloride 1%
w/w in a hydrophilic cream base containing stearic acid, cetyl
alcohol, Aquaphor ®,
isopropyl palmitate, polyoxyl 40 stearate, propylene glycol, potassium
sorbate, sorbic
acid, triethanolamine lauryl sulfate, and purified water.
Topical corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic
agents. The structural
formula, the chemical name, molecular formula and molecular weight for
the active
ingredients are presented below.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Topical corticosteroids share anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and
vasoconstrictive
actions.
The mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of 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.
Pramoxine hydrochloride is a topical anesthetic agent which provides
temporary relief
from itching and pain. It acts by stabilizing the neuronal membrane of
nerve endings
with which it comes into contact.
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 dermatos
