Indications
Cinoderm cream and ointment can be applied to a broad range of inflammatory, itchy and allergic skin conditions. It works well for eczema and dermatitis (including atopic eczema, seborrhoeic eczema, discoid eczema, otitis externa, contact dermatitis and neurodermatitis), as well as for prurigo, psoriasis, lichen planus and discoid lupus erythematosus. It is also suitable for inflammatory skin conditions where a secondary bacterial infection is present or likely to develop.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid used mainly in dermatology to calm skin inflammation and ease itching. It is a synthetic derivative of hydrocortisone. Research has also found that it can strongly boost TGF-β-driven chondrogenesis in bone marrow mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells, raising type II collagen levels by more than 100-fold compared with the widely used dexamethasone.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Topical corticosteroids, when used in pregnant animals, have been shown to cause fetal developmental abnormalities, including cleft palate and intrauterine growth retardation. A similar, though likely small, risk may exist for the human fetus. For this reason, when topical steroid treatment is needed during pregnancy, it should be used in the smallest effective amount and for the shortest possible duration.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
