Flucinar - belongs to the group of glucocorticosteroid drugs intended for external use.

pharmachologic effect

The active ingredient is Fluocinol acetonide, which is a synthetic glucocorticosteroid. The drug is very well absorbed (absorbed) through the skin. Even a small dose of Flucinar (less than 2.0 g) applied to the skin leads to inhibition of the pituitary-adrenal system and causes a decrease in ACTH production.

The drug has a good anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting prostaglandins and leukotrienes. In addition, it has a direct vasoconstrictor effect, due to which it reduces the severity of exudative phenomena. According to reviews, Flucinar has a pronounced antiallergic effect, which consists in reducing the severity of local hypersensitivity reactions.

The absorption of the drug is much faster and better if it is applied to damaged skin areas, to anatomical folds or to the face, and is fixed with a bandage. In the instructions for Flucinar, it is noted that the absorption of the drug in children and adolescents is several times stronger than in adults.
