Indications & Uses
Skinalar-N is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid, used mainly in dermatology to reduce skin inflammation and relieve itching. It is a synthetic derivative of hydrocortisone. It was also found to strongly boost TGF-β-associated chondrogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells, raising the levels of collagen type II by more than 100 fold compared to dexamethasone, which is widely used.
Neomycin Sulfate is actively transported across the bacterial cell membrane. Inside the cell, it binds to a specific receptor protein on the 30 S subunit of the bacterial ribosomes and interferes with an initiation complex between mRNA (messenger RNA) and the 30 S subunit. This stops the bacteria from making protein.

Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
If a viral or fungal infection is present, give suitable anti-infective cover along with Fluocinolone Acetonide + Neomycin Sulfate. Avoid prolonged use where neomycin could be absorbed. Don't apply it to the external auditory canal of patients with perforated eardrums. Long-term continuous use of a topical steroid can cause atrophic skin changes, so don't apply it to the face for long periods. Prolonged use, or treatment of extensive areas, can lead to adrenal suppression, especially in infants and children.
Contraindications
Fluocinolone Acetonide + Neomycin Sulfate should not be used on primary skin infections, or in rosacea, acne, perioral dermatitis, anogenital pruritis and napkin eruption. It is also not for anyone with known hypersensitivity to neomycin.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
When corticosteroids were applied to the skin of pregnant animals, they caused abnormal development of the fetus, including cleft palate and intrauterine growth retardation. There may be a small risk of the same effects on a human fetus. So if a topical steroid like Fluocinolone Acetonide + Neomycin Sulfate has to be used during pregnancy, keep both the amount and the length of treatment as low as possible.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
